Shah Rukh Khan turned his birthday into a first look at King, dropping the film’s first song, Tu Mil Jaaye, for fans. The music video reunites him with Deepika Padukone and adds a surprise international voice: Ed Sheeran, who raps on the track.
What the song is
Tu Mil Jaaye is built as a crossover rather than a conventional Bollywood love song. Arijit Singh leads the vocals, Madhubanti Bagchi contributes, and Ed Sheeran writes and performs an English rap section. Sachin-Jigar compose, Kumaar writes the Hindi lyrics, and Piyush-Shazia handle choreography.

A first look at King’s world
The video opens with Shah Rukh Khan delivering a line that sets the tone: “Main qaatil nahi, aashiq hoon.” From there, it moves into an upbeat romantic number, then cuts between grand visuals, action sequences and dramatic exchanges. It ends with a second dialogue—“Iss baar dil mein aag lagi hai”—that points to the film’s intensity.
The mix is the real message. Tu Mil Jaaye is being presented as an introduction to the larger cinematic world of King, not as a standalone romantic single. Do not judge the film by one love song; this is a mood board for what is coming.
Why the song matters
King is directed by Siddharth Anand and written by Sujoy Ghosh and Anand. It is produced by Gauri Khan, Mamta Anand and Siddharth Anand under Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures. The film brings Suhana Khan into a lead theatrical role for the first time, alongside an ensemble that includes Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, Raghav Juyal and Abhay Verma.
For SRK fans, this is also a reunion with Deepika Padukone, one of his most reliable big-screen pairings. Adding Ed Sheeran to the first song gives the film a global conversation starter before its December 24, 2026 worldwide release.
What to do next
Tu Mil Jaaye is already streaming on music platforms, and the music video is live on the Zee Music Company and T-Series YouTube channels. If King is on your watchlist, now is the moment to press play, judge the tone, and mark the Christmas Eve release date.
