The internet is buzzing with a hot topic: Is Shah Rukh Khan's highly anticipated film 'King' borrowing a little too much from Brad Pitt's iconic look in 'F1'? The resemblance is striking, and fans are divided!
Since the reveal of SRK's first look in 'King', social media has been flooded with comparisons to Brad Pitt's outfit in 'F1'. The blue shirt and tan jacket combination has sparked a debate: Is it a mere coincidence, a harmless homage, or a case of copying? While some fans see it as a fun similarity, others are crying foul, accusing the team of unoriginality.
Director Siddharth Anand has finally addressed the elephant in the room. He reacted to a viral tweet that poked fun at the criticism Bollywood often receives, saying, "Funny logic by haters these days..." The tweet compared SRK's outfit to Brad Pitt's in 'F1', among other movie references. Anand's response? A series of laughing emojis and an 'okay' hand gesture, perhaps suggesting he's taking the chatter in stride.
But here's where it gets interesting. Shah Rukh Khan himself shed light on his character in 'King', emphasizing the need for unique and diverse roles. He stated, "If we don't do something interesting in the film, the hero will just show up, sing a couple of songs, fight a bit, and leave." He continued, "The character in 'King' is very intriguing. Siddharth and Sujoy have written it with great love, and it has many flaws. He's a killer, he kills people without a second thought." SRK believes in the importance of diverse storytelling and characters, especially for younger audiences.
And this is the part most people miss: Is this a subtle response to the ongoing debate? Is Shah Rukh hinting at a complex character that goes beyond surface-level comparisons? Only time will tell as we eagerly await more details about 'King'.
