Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film King is already one of the most highly anticipated projects in Bollywood, and now the buzz has reached international heights. British pop icon Ed Sheeran appears to have dropped an exciting hint that he has recorded a song for the SRK starrer. If true, this marks a groundbreaking collaboration between Bollywood and one of the biggest names in global music.
The speculation began when a screenshot of Ed Sheeran’s comment on an Instagram post went viral. In the comment, Sheeran responded to a fan inquiry by saying, “The Hindi song was for a Bollywood movie SRK is doing; that is the Punjabi version of sapphire with Arijit. I am just doing all languages at this point.” While he didn’t explicitly mention King, the timing of the comment and the known collaborations have fueled strong rumors that he is referring to the Siddharth Anand directorial.
The comment also reveals an exciting detail—Ed Sheeran seems to be working alongside Arijit Singh, one of India’s most beloved playback singers. The duo was recently spotted together in India, sparking speculation that they are collaborating on more than just one project. With Arijit’s soulful voice and Ed Sheeran’s global appeal, fans can expect a musical masterpiece that transcends boundaries.
Adding to the intrigue is the presence of Suhana Khan, SRK’s daughter, who is reportedly playing a prominent role in King. This would make the Ed Sheeran-Arijit Singh number potentially Suhana’s debut song in a major Bollywood film, adding a layer of excitement for fans eager to see the father-daughter duo on screen or involved in the same project.
