Shah Rukh Khan revives Fauji’s Abhimanyu Rai in viral photos taken at…; fans wonder if it’s for Siddharth Anand’s King

Viral photos of Shah Rukh Khan

Celebrity photographer Colston Julian took to Instagram to share several photos of Shah Rukh Khan wearing an army uniform, a few days after the superstar’s 60th birthday on November 2. Sharing the pictures, Colston said, “Shahrukh KHAN was photographed at Mehboob Studios.” He did not mention when the photos were taken.

The Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham actor looks dashing in the photos. The name tag on his army uniform reads Abhimanyu Rai, his character name in his first serial, Fauji. After Fauji, Shah Rukh was seen as the man in uniform in many films like Army, Main Hoon Na, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Veer-Zaara and Jawan.

However, some fans are wondering if these photos were shot for Khan’s upcoming movie King. While the actor is seen in a silver fox look in the teaser, reports state that Siddharth Anand will be seen spanning two different timelines. Therefore, some netizens think that Khan may wear an army uniform with his youthful appearance in King.

Along with Shah Rukh Khan, King has a strong cast comprising Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Rani Mukerji, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhay Verma, Raghav Juyal, Akshay Oberoi and Saurabh Shukla. It is said that Bachchan will be playing the main antagonist.

King is bankrolled by Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment and Siddharth Anand’s Marflix Pictures. The action thriller will be released in cinemas worldwide in 2026. The exact release date has not been announced yet. Anirudh Ravichander is composing the music and background music for the Siddharth Anand directorial.
