Shah Rukh Khan’s Viral Salt-and-Pepper Look Sparks Buzz Around Upcoming Film ‘King’

Shah Rukh Khan, one of Hindi cinema’s biggest self-made stars, continues to make headlines with his latest look from the sets of his upcoming film King. The actor, who made his Bollywood debut in 1992, has seen both highs and lows in his career. After a break from acting, he returned in 2023 with two massive blockbusters, Pathaan and Jawan.

His next project, King, directed by Siddharth Anand, is slated for release in 2027 and features a star-studded cast including Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, and Raghav Juyal. However, filming has faced delays due to the superstar’s recent injury.

Despite his health concerns, Shah Rukh is ensuring production continues smoothly. A picture of him sporting a stylish salt-and-pepper look from the set has gone viral, with fans speculating it to be his official look for King. One fan wrote, “We’re creating an Active Retweet Gc for #KING Movie ✨ … Let’s unite & make #KING roar louder than ever.”

Deepika Padukone, who reunites with SRK in this film, reflected on their journey together, sharing, “The very first lesson he taught me almost 18 years ago while filming Om Shanti Om was that the experience of making a movie, and the people you make it with, matter far more than its success.” She added, “That’s probably why we’re back making our 6th movie together? #king #day1 @iamsrk @s1danand.”

Regarding Shah Rukh’s health, a source revealed, “While exact details of the injury have been kept under wraps, Shah Rukh, along with his team, has travelled to the US for urgent medical attention.” It was further clarified that it is a muscular injury, linked to his long history of performing physically demanding stunts.
