Shah Rukh Khan’s King to Feature Ed Sheeran’s Hindi Song? Here’s the Proof

Ed Sheeran may be closer than ever to earning honorary Indian citizenship at least that's what the internet believes. The English singer-songwriter has become a sensation in India, thanks to his recent tour and growing connections with Bollywood. His latest single, "Sapphire," featuring Arijit Singh and a surprise cameo by Shah Rukh Khan, has only deepened fans’ love for him. But the buzz doesn't stop there. Ed Sheeran is now set to make his official Bollywood debut.

🔊 Ed Sheeran Confirms Hindi Song for SRK’s Film

On Tuesday, Ed shared a behind-the-scenes (BTS) video from the making of Sapphire on social media. In the video, he was seen recording some lines in Punjabi, and he also spoke about experimenting with Hindi vocals. A fan club posted the clip to Instagram with the caption:

“Can’t wait for the full Punjabi version 😍😍 Check out the behind the scenes on Ed’s YouTube channel!”

Speculation began swirling when Ed replied to the post, stating:

“The Hindi song was for a Bollywood movie SRK is doing, this is the Punjabi version of Sapphire with Arijit. I’m just doing all languages at this point.”

Fans immediately connected the dots. “Which Hindi song? When is it coming out?” asked one user, while another wondered aloud, “In King?” referring to SRK’s only film currently in production.

🎬 The ‘King’ Connection

King, directed by Siddharth Anand, is the only confirmed project Shah Rukh Khan is actively working on. The film is set to be a landmark in his career, not just because of its star-studded cast Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Arshad Warsi but also because it marks SRK’s first on-screen collaboration with his daughter, Suhana Khan.

Eagle-eyed fans pointed out another clue: In the Sapphire BTS footage, Ed is seen spending time with director Siddharth Anand inside a recording studio, strongly suggesting the collaboration is linked to King.

📅 What’s Next?

Although no official details have been released regarding the song’s title or release date, Ed’s direct confirmation has already sent fans into a frenzy. With King still in production and no premiere date announced yet, anticipation continues to grow around Ed Sheeran’s Bollywood debut.

One thing’s for sure, Ed isn’t just singing to Indian hearts anymore; he’s officially part of Bollywood’s playlist.
