The recent reveal of Shah Rukh Khan’s distinguished salt-and-pepper look for his upcoming project ‘King’ has ignited both fan excitement and online debate. While celebrating the actor’s evolving film choices, some netizens pointed out a supposed similarity between an outfit worn by Khan in the ‘King’ promo and Brad Pitt’s attire in the upcoming ‘F1’ movie, leading to accusations of imitation. However, the ardent fan base of Shah Rukh Khan swiftly stepped in to defend their idol. They countered the claims by presenting side-by-side comparisons with photos of Khan from his 2017 film ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, demonstrating that he had showcased a similar style – a brown jacket paired with a blue shirt – much earlier. This fan-led evidence-gathering effectively nullified the ‘copy’ allegations. The ‘King’ teaser showcases SRK in a sophisticated silver-haired look, complete with characteristic ear accessories and an intense aura, reminiscent of his ‘Jawan’ character. The film, directed by Siddharth Anand, is set to be a high-octane action entertainer and will also star Suhana Khan. ‘King’ is slated for a 2026 release.
