Shah Rukh Khan Shows Off Ripped Physique and Arm Tattoos in New Video; Fans Speculate It's His Look for King

Shah Rukh Khan has set the internet buzzing with his bold new look, spotted recently by a fan in a now-viral video. The short clip shows him walking through a hotel lobby, dressed in a white vest, denim jeans, sunglasses, and a beanie — but what really grabbed everyone’s attention were his ripped arms and the striking fake tattoos covering them.

The video, taken from a distance, captures Shah Rukh greeting a few people before heading out, surrounded by his security team keeping fans at a distance. Though no official word has come out about the context of the look, fans are speculating it’s from his upcoming film King, directed by Siddharth Anand.

So far, Shah Rukh and Siddharth have kept details about King tightly under wraps, which only adds to the excitement. The new look has fans convinced it’s connected to the film. One user commented, “Shah Rukh Khan’s fierce new look from KING is here — ripped physique, bold tattoos, and all the swagger of a true legend!” Another wrote, “Beard. Biceps. Beanie. Badass. Shah Rukh Khan’s not just aging — he’s evolving into a legend of fire!!”

King is set to be a big theatrical release, reportedly coming in 2026. Alongside Shah Rukh, the film will also mark the big-screen debut of his daughter Suhana Khan, who was last seen in Netflix’s The Archies. The star-studded cast is also expected to feature Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Abhay Verma.

With all this buzz and Shah Rukh’s intense new avatar, fans are calling King one of the most anticipated films in years.
