Directed by Sujoy Ghosh and produced by SRK’s Red Chillies Entertainment in partnership with Siddharth Anand, the film is said to be an emotionally charged high-octane action entertainer. While the filmmakers have kept the details of the story under wraps, the pairing of Khan and Padukone along with the epic visuals previously suggested by the viral image means that we are in for a filming treat.
Despite the nature of the post, social media undoubtedly went into overload with reactions. Some were amped up and excited to see Shah Rukh in this gruff avatar, while some began to bicker over whether Shah Rukh was actually involved at all, examining the details of the still frame and digitally altering any hints of digital manipulation. Hashtags of #ShahRukhKhan, #King, #DeepikaPadukone, and #AIPic dominate the trending topics, highlighting the anticipation, speculation and scrutiny within the netizens’ bubbling community.
