A Global Musical Milestone: Shah Rukh Khan Rings in Birthday with ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’, the First Single from ‘KING’
To mark his birthday, superstar Shah Rukh Khan has treated global fans to an unprecedented musical and visual spectacle by unveiling ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’, the lead single from his highly anticipated action-drama ‘KING’.
The track marks a historic cross-cultural pop collaboration, pairing the soulful vocals of Arijit Singh and the magical touch of Madhubanti Bagchi with an English rap style written and performed by global pop icon Ed Sheeran. Composed by Sachin-Jigar with lyrics by Kumaar, the song is paired with choreography by Piyush-Shazia.
The track reunites the blockbuster on-screen pairing of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone, blending high-octane action with signature romance. Directed by Siddharth Anand and bankrolled by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, KING is locked for a worldwide theatrical release on December 24, 2026.

The music video opens with trademark intensity, establishing Shah Rukh Khan's character through a striking dialogue:
“Main qaatil nahi, aashiq hoon, aur nishana meri mashooka, aur woh aashiq hi kya jo dil cheer na de.”
Moving fluidly from a peppy, modern dance template to high-stakes action transitions, the track serves as more than a standard commercial single—it acts as a narrative window into the multi-layered world of KING. Blending romance, action, and dehshat (terror/awe), the video concludes with another fiery statement from SRK:
“Iss baar dil mein aag lagi hai, ab duniya jalaye bina manega nahi.”
