Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his 61st birthday in grand style on November 2 with the midnight launch of "Tu Mil Jaaye". The track is the first release from his upcoming project "King".
The video sees Shah Rukh reuniting on screen with Deepika Padukone, combining high-octane action, dance, and romance across settings like a cafe and a beach. SRK also appears shirtless and delivers dialogues pointing to a darker edge to his character, while lip-syncing to Sheeran's rap segment.
Star-studded musical lineup
The track brings together Arijit Singh and Ed Sheeran, with Madhubanti Bagchi also lending her voice. Composed by Sachin-Jigar, Kumaar wrote the Hindi lyrics while Sheeran penned the English rap. Dance moves were choreographed by Piyush-Shazia.
“Yeh Daur Ishq ka Naseeb Waalon ko milta hai… Jahan Barood ki Khushboo mein Gulab khilta hai… Of Love and other Battles….”Shah Rukh Khan
