First song from Shah Rukh Khan's 'King' released on his 61st birthday

Shah Rukh Khan is celebrating his 61st birthday today. Marking the day, he has given his fans a gift: the first song from his upcoming film 'King', 'Tu Mil Jaye', was released at midnight.

Fans flooded social media with reactions as soon as the song came out. Shah Rukh's new look and his chemistry with Deepika Padukone are being widely discussed.

Shah Rukh is preparing to return to the big screen about three years after 'Dunki'. 'King' has been in the news continuously for some time. The makers have now chosen his birthday to put the first song before the audience.

'Tu Mil Jaye' shows Shah Rukh in a romantic mood, and his distinctive style catches the eye from the start of the song. His chemistry with actress Deepika Padukone is also being liked by viewers. The pair will be seen together on the big screen once again, which has excited fans.

The song offers more than romance, with glimpses of action too. Along with romantic scenes, Shah Rukh is seen in dangerous fight sequences. The song also shows that in some scenes he appears in episodes linked to arms smuggling. Notably, it also shows Shah Rukh shirtless, after which his fitness has also become a talking point.

Another distinction of 'King' is that it is being directed by Siddharth Anand. In the film, Shah Rukh will appear on the big screen with his daughter Suhana Khan for the first time. It will also be the first film of Suhana's to release in theatres.

It is a multi-starrer. Along with Shah Rukh and Deepika, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Rani Mukerji and Raghav Juyal are also in important roles.

'King', directed by Siddharth Anand, will release in cinemas on December 24. Because of Shah Rukh's romantic look, the action scenes and the line-up of strong cast members, anticipation for the film is already building among audiences.
