Rukh Khan’s upcoming film King has been the talk of the town ever since its first look was dropped on the superstar’s 60th birthday. While fans were thrilled to see SRK in an intense, rugged avatar, the internet quickly spotted something else - they found his outfit similarities with the one worn by Hollywood actor Brad Pitt in his film F1. Soon, social media was flooded with comparisons, memes, and debates over whether King had taken “inspiration” from his look.

King director Siddharth Anand on comparison between SRK’s Look and Brad Pitt in F1

In the viral still from King, Shah Rukh is seen wearing a blue shirt and a tan jacket - a combination that immediately reminded fans of Brad Pitt’s racer look from F1. Many online users shared side-by-side images of both actors, claiming that the styling was nearly identical. While some found the resemblance amusing and harmless, others accused the makers of copying international styles, sparking a heated discussion online.As the chatter intensified, King director Siddharth Anand finally reacted to the trending comparisons - though not directly. He noticed a viral tweet that took a slight dig at the criticism Bollywood often receives for supposed similarities with Hollywood. The tweet read, “Funny logic by haters these days. If a Bollywood movie has: Fighter Jet - Copy of Top Gun, Ship - Copy of Titanic, Same dress code - Copy of F1, Orange Dress - Anti-Hindu. Their IQ level is like buffering since 1947.”

The post also included a collage showing three photos - Shah Rukh from Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017), Brad Pitt from F1 (2025), and SRK’s new still from King. Siddharth Anand’s reaction said it all - he dropped a series of laughing emojis followed by the “OK” hand emoji, subtly hinting that he found the entire controversy amusing.

The film will be released in theatres in 2026. SRK is working with daughter Suhana Khan for the first time in King.
