SRK’s King: Boycott Calls Return, But No Outrage Now?

King song sparks boycott discussions

Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his 61st birthday on November 2, 2026, and also had a perfect gift for his fans in the form of the first single from his upcoming film, King, titled Tu Mil Jaaye.

While fans are celebrating the arrival of the song, the general audience had a mixed response, with many claiming that it had glimpses of Besharam Rang from Pathaan. Irrespective of all this, trade experts stated that the film will undoubtedly take a big opening on December 24, 2026.

The comparison with Besharam Rang has once again brought back the memories of the time when the song was first released, leading to a huge controversy over Deepika Padukone’s orange bikini. Multiple groups called for a boycott of the film during that time, alleging that the outfit was hurting religious sentiments.

Notably, Tu Mil Jaaye has also created headlines for the same reason. Deepika is once again wearing an outfit of the same color, following which social media users have started debating why no one has pointed out the issue so far.

While the Boycott King trend has started once again on social media, it is not taking the form of a big problem so far compared to what happened at the time of Pathaan. Netizens believe that the first controversy was possibly a targeted one, aiming to bring down Shah Rukh Khan, which eventually did not happen, as Pathaan took a big opening, emerging as a blockbuster in the end.

A particular section claimed that this time, it is a normal outfit instead of a bikini, which could be the reason why the groups have maintained silence on the matter. Some others stated that the groups are well aware of the fact that the controversy is going to work in favour of the film, and so they have opted to keep their distance.

On the other hand, SRK’s fans are happy and satisfied since the new song has become a topic of discussion without any major controversy. A few supporters even stated that people are going to book their tickets to check it out by themselves if something is wrong, eventually helping King to make a big start at the box office.

Amid all this, the excitement remains among the audience to witness the upcoming materials, which will also decide the possible fate of the film when it arrives in theatres. Fans have already started demanding the release of another teaser. Now only time will tell how long people have to wait to catch another glimpse.
