Speculation is swirling around a possible collaboration between global music icon Ed Sheeran and Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for the upcoming film King. Fans are buzzing after Sheeran hinted at a Hindi track linked to a major Bollywood project, sending social media into a frenzy.

The rumors gained traction following behind-the-scenes footage from Sheeran’s new track Sapphire, which not only features acclaimed Indian singer Arijit Singh but also includes a surprise cameo by Shah Rukh Khan. That alone was enough to grab attention, but it was Sheeran’s candid comment on Instagram that truly ignited speculation.

When a fan page posted a clip of the video, mentioning a potential Punjabi version and urging viewers to check out the BTS footage on YouTube, Sheeran responded with a cryptic yet revealing message:

“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.”

That single reply sent fans into investigative mode. What Hindi song? Which movie is he referring to? Is Sheeran part of King, Shah Rukh Khan’s highly anticipated action-thriller set for release in 2025?

Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is rumored to feature a powerhouse cast including Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, and even a possible appearance by Suhana Khan. With such a star-studded lineup, the idea of an Ed Sheeran musical contribution only heightens the hype.

Further adding to the intrigue, eagle-eyed fans spotted director Siddharth Anand in the Sapphire BTS footage, appearing in a recording studio with Sheeran. While no one from Sheeran’s camp, SRK, or the King production team has confirmed the collaboration, the clues are stacking up.

If these rumors prove true, this would mark Ed Sheeran’s debut in Bollywood and his first Hindi song—a major cultural crossover that could redefine global music collaborations in cinema.

For now, all we can do is wait and watch. But one thing is certain: something big is brewing at the intersection of Bollywood and global pop.
