Ed Sheeran Debuts in Bollywood with Shah Rukh Khan's King Song "Tu Mil Jaaye"
Ed Sheeran made his Bollywood playback debut with the song "Tu Mil Jaaye" from Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film King, set to release on December 24. The collaboration arose from Sheeran's friendship with Khan, who encouraged him to create a song for the film. During a visit to Khan's residence, Mannat, Sheeran was introduced to composers Sachin-Jigar and recorded his verse the same night. The track also features Indian singer Arijit Singh and marks a notable cross-cultural musical partnership.
