Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's much-anticipated action film King gave fans a treat on his 60th birthday with the release of its first look. While admirers celebrated the first look, social media buzzed with comparisons, as many noted a striking resemblance between SRK’s outfit and that of Hollywood star Brad Pitt in F1: The Movie.
In the teaser, Shah Rukh sports a mustard suede jacket layered over a light blue denim shirt, paired with a crossbody bag and aviator sunglasses - a combination that closely mirrors Brad Pitt’s ensemble in the international racing drama.
The similarities were immediately noticed by fans, who flooded social media with reactions. Several fans praised the look as “internationally inspired". Others accused the makers of copying Brad Pitt’s style.
"SRK copied Brad pitt in #King," wrote a user on X. Another joked, "Hahahah what is this.. aise kaise copy kar dete hai yaar. Haddd hai aur kya hi expect kar sakte hai bollywood se."
Here's how others reacted:
