Shah Rukh Khan’s new look from King leaked, fans hail his 'silver fox' avatar, compare him to Tom Cruise in collateral

Shah Rukh Khan is back on sets of his upcoming movie King, and a leaked picture has already sent fans into a frenzy. After recovering from shoulder surgery that kept him away from the cameras for a while, the superstar was recently spotted shooting for his much-anticipated film King. The image, captured by a fan in Mumbai and shared on Reddit, has quickly gone viral, mainly because of Shah Rukh’s striking new look.

The picture shows him stepping out of a McDonald’s outlet, surrounded by cameras, umbrellas, and lighting gear, confirming that the spot had been turned into a film set. Dressed in a crisp white shirt, black sunglasses, and with his hair styled in a salt-and-pepper cut, Shah Rukh exuded a suave, matured presence. What really caught the eye, though, was his grey hair—an aesthetic fans have dubbed his “silver fox era.”

Reactions poured in instantly. One fan wrote, “Lord Sid has not dropped the ball on the look going by this pic at least. White fox nice. Always wanted him to be in this vibe. Grey shade action drama. Big plus point short hair confirmed.” Another said simply, “SRK is back!” Comparisons with Tom Cruise’s rare grey-haired look in Collateral were unavoidable, with many drawing parallels between the two icons’ daring style choices.

For Shah Rukh’s loyal base, the look also reassured them about the film’s direction under Siddharth Anand. One user commented, “Man, I’ve full faith in SRK and Lord Sid and the ensemble too, but I just hope that Indian Michael Bay doesn’t get carried away with all the hype.” The sentiment reflects both excitement and cautious optimism about what’s shaping up to be a slick action thriller.

King carries additional buzz because it marks Shah Rukh’s first on-screen collaboration with his daughter, Suhana Khan. The cast is packed with powerhouse names like Jaideep Ahlawat, Arshad Warsi, Saurabh Shukla, Jackie Shroff, Abhishek Bachchan, Abhay Verma, and Raghav Juyal, with cameo appearances expected from Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, and Anil Kapoor.

Slated for release in 2026, the film is Shah Rukh’s big return after a blockbuster 2023 where he delivered three major hits. If this leaked look is any indication, fans can expect a bold reinvention that could define his next cinematic chapter.
