Shah Rukh Khan Celebrates 61st Birthday with 'King' Song Release and Fan Tributes
Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his 61st birthday with the release of 'Tu Mil Jaaye,' the first song from his upcoming film King, featuring Deepika Padukone and a musical collaboration with Arijit Singh and Ed Sheeran. The song blends romance and action, drawing comparisons to Khan's earlier films Pathaan and Jawan. Fans gathered outside his Mumbai residence, Mannat, which was decorated with large projections from King, while security was tightened. Khan skipped his usual balcony appearance but shared a handwritten note thanking fans. The celebrations included a tribute on the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and appearances by celebrities like Kareena Kapoor, who confirmed her special song in the film. Speculation about Suhana Khan's cameo and plot twists also emerged from the song's visuals. Composer Anirudh exited the project, with Sachin-Jigar taking over music duties. The film is set for a December 24 release.
