British YouTuber and entertainer KSI has expressed admiration for Bollywood icon Shah Rukh Khan, describing him as a “King” and a “legend” and revealing his wish to meet the superstar in person. The comments
came during a conversation with Zoom, where KSI emphasised that his interest in meeting Khan is personal, not for content creation.
Olajide Olayinka Williams “JJ” Olatunji, widely known as KSI, is a British influencer, professional boxer, and musician. Reflecting on Khan’s memorable performances, he said, “He is a King. He’s an absolute legend. Watching his content just… one day I would want to meet him.”
KSI’s admiration coincides with excitement around Khan’s upcoming projects. The actor is set to star in the highly anticipated action thriller King, directed by Siddharth Anand. Khan will play a dual role in the film, which also features Abhay Verma, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Jaideep Ahlawat, Raghav Juyal, Arshad Warsi, Abhishek Bachchan, and Saurabh Shukla. The movie will mark the acting debut of Khan’s daughter, Suhana Khan, and is expected to release in the second half of 2026.
The first look of King was unveiled on Shah Rukh Khan’s 60th birthday, November 2, 2025. After a brief break, Khan reportedly returned to filming on December 20, focusing on action sequences that involve intricate choreography and precision camera setups. Meanwhile, Suhana Khan was in Dubai celebrating the New Year with friends.
In addition to King, Khan is slated to appear in the sequel to Pathaan (2023). Production for Pathaan 2 is expected to begin in early 2026, aiming for a major theatrical release in 2027.
