‘King’ vs. ‘F1’: SRK Fans Expose Fashion ‘Copy’ Claims

Following the announcement of Shah Rukh Khan’s new film ‘King’ on his birthday, his new salt-and-pepper look became an instant internet sensation. However, the excitement was soon met with online chatter alleging that one of Khan’s outfits in the ‘King’ promotional material closely resembled Brad Pitt’s costume in the upcoming ‘F1’ film. Trolls took to social media to voice their ‘copycat’ accusations. Undeterred, Shah Rukh Khan’s devoted followers rallied to his defense, providing concrete evidence to silence the critics. Fans unearthed images from Khan’s 2017 film ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, highlighting a nearly identical brown jacket and blue shirt ensemble worn by the actor. This compelling visual comparison effectively proved that SRK had embraced a similar fashion statement long before the ‘F1’ comparisons began. The ‘King’ promo features Khan with silver hair, distinctive ear jewelry, and a commanding presence, drawing parallels to his role in ‘Jawan’. The film, described as a stylish and thrilling action entertainer, is helmed by Siddharth Anand and will feature Suhana Khan alongside SRK. ‘King’ is scheduled for a 2026 release.
