After Jawan’s music, Anirudh Ravichander is back with Shah Rukh Khan for King. Tamil insider and critic Prashanth Rangaswamy has said that Anirudh is composing a song that will be an “anthem forever” for SRK fans. Big statement!
King is directed by Sujoy Ghosh and produced by Siddharth Anand. Suhana Khan is making her big-screen debut.
While the plot is under wraps, Anirudh’s music has already got people talking. Jawan’s music was a blockbuster, especially the title theme and Chaleya. So the bar is high for King.
While Jawan’s music was a hit, Anirudh’s recent Tamil scores (Vidaa Muyarchi, Vettaiyan, Indian 2) have got mixed reviews for being repetitive.
With King, he needs to go beyond Jawan and be fresh and impactful. If he does, this might just be an anthem.
An “anthem forever” is a big statement. Songs like Chaiyya Chaiyya and Lungi Dance became cultural milestones—can Anirudh match that?
If he follows the Jawan formula, it will be repetitive. If he experiments too much, it will lose mass appeal. He needs to find the balance.
With King, Anirudh has another chance to consolidate his Bollywood presence. If he gives a powerful and unique track, he will shape SRK’s next musical era.
If not, it will struggle under the weight of expectations. Fans wait—hoping Anirudh creates an anthem for the ages.
