Ed Sheeran has sent Bollywood fans into a frenzy by seemingly confirming that he has recorded a Hindi song for Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film, believed to be "King." This news has sparked immense excitement, especially since "King" will mark the on-screen debut of Shah Rukh Khan's daughter, Suhana Khan.

The confirmation, though indirect, came through Sheeran's response to a comment on Instagram. A fan club shared a behind-the-scenes video from the making of "Sapphire," Sheeran's collaboration with Arijit Singh, noting Sheeran's mention of a Hindi version of the song. Sheeran himself responded, clarifying that "The Hindi song was for a Bollywood movie SRK is doing; that is the Punjabi version of Sapphire with Arijit. I'm just doing all languages at this point." This comment quickly went viral, fueling speculation and anticipation among fans.

"King," directed by Siddharth Anand, is already generating significant buzz. The film reportedly features a stellar cast, including not only Shah Rukh and Suhana Khan but also prominent names like Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Abhay Verma. The potential release date is sometime in 2026.

Adding fuel to the fire, some eagle-eyed fans have pointed out that Sheeran was seen with Siddharth Anand, the director of "King", in a recording studio during the BTS video for "Sapphire." This has led many to believe that the Hindi song is indeed for "King" and that the collaboration was orchestrated during the making of "Sapphire."

Sheeran's connection with Shah Rukh Khan extends beyond this upcoming song. He recently collaborated with SRK for the music video of "Sapphire," where the Bollywood superstar made a cameo appearance. Sheeran even shared an anecdote about how the collaboration came about, revealing that SRK invited him to his home, they played paddle, and then SRK pitched the idea for the cameo.

This isn't the first time Ed Sheeran has expressed his admiration for Shah Rukh Khan and Bollywood. He has previously admitted to watching SRK's films during his flights and even imitated SRK's signature pose in a video, which was directed by Farah Khan. He is also slated to appear on Kapil Sharma's Netflix show, "The Great Indian Kapil Show".

The news of Sheeran's Hindi song for "King" has been met with excitement and curiosity. Fans are eagerly awaiting more details about the song, including its title and release date. Some are speculating whether the song will be a promotional track for the film or feature prominently in the movie's narrative.

The collaboration between Ed Sheeran and Shah Rukh Khan is seen as a significant moment for both the Indian and international music scenes. It highlights the growing global appeal of Bollywood and the increasing willingness of international artists to collaborate with Indian talent. With "King" already being one of the most anticipated films, Ed Sheeran's song is expected to further amplify its reach and excitement.
