Reports: Ed Sheeran to Make Bollywood Debut With Shah Rukh Khan's King Movie?

According to the internet, Ed Sheeran is this close to receiving an Aadhar card. Over the past year, the English singer-songwriter's reputation has grown in India thanks to his tour. It has now reached a new level with his latest single, Sapphire, in which he collaborates with Arijit Singh and Shah Rukh Khan makes a cameo. But hold on, Ed might yet have more in store. The singer is prepared to launch in Bollywood. 

Yes, you read that right! The disclosure was made in a behind-the-scenes video that was circulated while his most recent single, "Sapphire," was being made. The Bollywood actor himself made an unexpected appearance in the video. Although the film's title has not yet been revealed, fans are certain that it is King, Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming major motion picture, which is helmed by Siddharth Anand. Since its announcement, the project has been kept under wraps, but Sheeran's remarks and the latest events surrounding "Sapphire" are now seen as clear signs of a closer partnership.

A fan saw a brief clip of Ed Sheeran filming the Punjabi version of his song "Sapphire" with Arijit Singh after he uploaded a behind-the-scenes video on his YouTube channel. Later, a fan club posted this video to Instagram with the caption, “Can’t wait for the full Punjabi version! Check out the BTS on Ed’s YouTube channel. Ed mentioned a Hindi version too—so now I’m not sure if the other version is in Hindi or Punjabi.”To clear up any confusion, Ed Sheeran himself responded to the post. He wrote, "The Hindi song is for a Bollywood movie that Shah Rukh Khan is doing. This is the Punjabi version of Sapphire with Arijit. I’m just doing all languages at this point.”

Shah Rukh is now working on just one movie, King. This is the actor's debut on-screen partnership with his daughter Suhana Khan in the Siddharth Anand-directed movie. Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Arshad Warsi are among the many members of the ensemble cast. Ed's remark was 'evidence' enough, but several astute internet detectives pointed out that he was hanging out with Siddharth Anand at a recording studio in the BTS video for Sapphire, suggesting that it might have something to do with the song in King. The song's title and other elements are currently unknown. King is presently under production, and no release date has been set.
