Mumbai, Nov 2 (IANS) The title reveal of the Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘King’ was unveiled on Sunday on the occasion of his 60th birthday.

The moment of SRK’s face-reveal in the video arrives as he rocks the silver-haired look with short hair. The unanimously known as King Khan take on the title role with merciless intensity. A man whose name inspires not just fear, but terror across continents as he says, “100 desho’n mein badnaam, duniya ne diya sirf ek hi naam”, ‘KING’.

One of the iconic moments from the title reveal is when SRK wields the King of Hearts card as a weapon, a symbolic nod to his enduring reign as the King of Hearts, both on and off-screen.

The film marks SRK’s 2nd collaboration with director-producer Siddharth Anand after ‘Pathaan’, and is a slick, high-octane action entertainer that redefines style, charisma, and thrills, and is set to be Siddharth Anand’s massiest film yet, taking his signature action storytelling to a whole new dimension.
