At one of the clearest cross-cultural moments in our century, worldwide pop star Ed Sheeran and Indian composer Anirudh Ravichander are collaborating to perform a high-spirited dance number that will be seen as the primary theme of the film.

This is a high-energy music track for world music lovers: Bollywood meeting global pop music! The song would present Shah Rukh Khan along with his daughter Suhana Khan in one long moment full of brilliant high energy, giving them the best opportunity onscreen. Global cooperation inside Bollywood has an old-school vibe, but SRK has been on the cusp of it all. One of his most famous is his collaboration with Akon for the smash hit Chammak Challo in the film Ra.One. 

Shah Rukh Khan starred in the number, which was so memorable at the time, the music is famous because Shah Rukh Khan became the new vocalist partner of Akon. The number grew to become a worldwide smash and illustrated how cross-cultural collaborations in the music industry can propel the Indian cinematic landscape to further heights. With King, the stakes are the higher.

The international stature and chart-trapping top hits of Ed Sheeran take the track for international and well-mixed to keep it in touch with mass consumer music courtesy of Indian artist Anirudh Ravichander. 

The combination of both groups certainly will release a song that combines Western pop with Indian film culture. Details regarding King’s official plot remain elusive, but it surely is one of the most hyped films in Shah Rukh Khan’s recent slate of films.

Even the mention of a global music collaboration, and even more importantly, of a simple work like this, only raises the level of suspicion and, quite frankly, shows a hopeful possibility that you can anticipate it receiving some extent of international coverage. 

With Bollywood going global, projects like King are a reflection of an expanding development of cross-border creative partnerships. Now fans can hardly wait for more developments (one of the more hyped-up tracks of the day, which brings great visual and musical flavor to what is to be felt like a major spectacle of the era).
