It’s King Khan’s 61st birthday, and Shah Rukh Khan’s fans are in for a visual treat as the makers of his upcoming film King dropped the first song, Tu Mil Jaaye, at midnight.
The track, Tu Mil Jaaye, features Deepika Padukone in the lead. While the romantic track offers a glimpse of SRK and Deepika’s chemistry, it has also seemingly teased Suhana Khan’s appearance in the film, catching the attention of eagle-eyed fans.
In the song’s video, Suhana appears briefly against the backdrop of a massive blazing fire. However, her face is not clearly visible, making it a quick blink-and-miss moment. The glimpse comes during a sequence that shows Shah Rukh in a revengeful avatar, hinting at the intense narrative of the film.
The track concludes with another powerful dialogue by Shah Rukh Khan: “This time, a fire is raging in my heart. It will not stop until it has set the world ablaze.”
Before the lead pair light up the screen, Shah Rukh introduces himself with these words: “Main katil nahi, aashiq hoon, nishana meri masooqa, aur woh aashiqui kya jo dil cheer na de (I am not a murderer, but a lover. My beloved is my aim. And what’s love if it doesn’t break the heart).”
On his 61st birthday, Shah Rukh Khan will miss his regular meet-and-greet session with fans due to work commitments.
Fans in large numbers thronged outside Mannat last night to catch a glimpse of the superstar. Three King teaser posters lit up Shah Rukh Khan’s Mannat and were displayed on massive LED screens outside his bungalow.
King’s star cast
King marks the reunion of Shah Rukh Khan and Pathaan director Siddharth Anand. The film also brings SRK and Deepika Padukone together again after Jawan.
Shah Rukh Khan had recently teased his intense avatar in the movie with a new poster. The caption read, “Qaatil Nahi… Aashiq Hai… #KING. In cinemas 24.12.2026.” The words were an homage to Shah Rukh’s film Baadshah and its title track.
The star-studded ensemble includes Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi and Abhay Verma. Kareena Kapoor has also joined the film for a special dance number. King is set to arrive in theatres on December 24, 2026.
