‘Tu Mil Jaaye’ Song From ‘King’
Adding to the birthday celebrations, the makers of King dropped the film’s first song, “Tu Mil Jaaye”, featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone. The track offers a glimpse into the romantic side of their characters, while also hinting at the action-packed world of the upcoming film.
Arijit Singh and Madhubanti Bagchi have lent their voices to the song, which also features an English rap penned by Ed Sheeran. Sachin-Jigar have composed the track, with lyrics by Kumaar.

The music video begins with Shah Rukh Khan delivering the dialogue, “Main qaatil nahi, aashiq hoon, aur nishana meri mashooka, aur woh aashiq hi kya jo dil cheer na de.” It then moves into an upbeat romantic sequence featuring the two actors.
The visuals follow SRK and Deepika as they spend time together at cafes and beaches. However, the video also hints at a darker side to Khan’s character, with references to illegal smuggling.
The song ends on an intense note, with the actor delivering another dialogue, “Iss baar dil mein aag lagi hai, ab duniya jalaye bina manega nahi.”
Directed by Siddharth Anand, King is slated for a worldwide theatrical release on December 24.
