Ed Sheeran Makes Bollywood Debut 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, releasing on December 24. The collaboration came about after Sheeran visited Shah Rukh's Mumbai residence, Mannat, to request a cameo for his music video 'Sapphire'. During this visit, Shah Rukh introduced him to composers Sachin-Jigar, leading Sheeran to write and record his verse the same night. The track also features Indian singer Arijit Singh and marks a notable cross-cultural musical partnership.
