Ed Sheeran to Record a Song for Shah Rukh Khanâs King?

King, directed by Siddharth Anand, is one of the most-awaited films of the year. Starring Shah Rukh Khan and Suhana Khan, this will be the first full-length feature film in which the father-daughter duo will share the screen. 

In the previous year, English singer-songwriter Ed Sheeran confirmed that he had sung a Hindi song for Shah Rukh Khan’s film, but didn’t reveal the name of the film at that time. However, fans speculate that King might be the film the singer was talking about. Moreover, music composer Anirudh Ravichander has also engaged in the speculations of Ed Sheeran being a part of King soundtrack, and has commented that it might happen.

During a recent conversation with Bombay Times, the music composer, Anirudh, was asked whether Ed Sheeran was a part of King’s soundtrack. To which he replied, “That was just an idea. It hasn’t been executed yet, but it may happen… either that or something big is on the cards”. 

Moreover, talking about the film King, Anirudh has also praised the level of effort both Shah Rukh Khan and Siddharth Anand have put into the making of the film. “Sir makes sure that you don’t feel the pressure. We just want to celebrate him. We want to make sure that he gets the best. Sid (Siddharth Anand, director) and he have worked a lot on the film. So hopefully, whenever it’s out this year, it’s another memorable time for us,” he said. 

Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film was officially announced in November 2025. Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, King marks Shah Rukh Khan and his darling daughter Suhana Khan’s first-ever on-screen collaboration.

According to sources, Shah Rukh Khan will be seen playing the role of an assassin belonging to the dark underworld, whereas his daughter Suhana will portray the role of a girl who has lost her family and is now under the protection of Shah Rukh Khan. The film also stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma, and Raghav Juyal in key roles. 

The film is set to release a day ahead of Christmas this year, 24 December.
