On Tuesday, Ed Sheeran shared a behind-the-scenes video on his YouTube channel showcasing the making of 'Sapphire.' In this video, he reveals how he convinced Shah Rukh Khan to join the project. Viewers can also see Ed recording some lines in Punjabi and discussing his experience singing in Hindi.
A fan club later shared this video on Instagram, expressing excitement for a full Punjabi version. They noted, 'Can’t wait for the full Punjabi version. Check out the behind-the-scenes on Ed’s YouTube Channel! Ed mentioned the Hindi version in that video, so I’m not sure if the other version of the song will be Hindi or Punjabi now!'
Ed Sheeran responded to the post, clarifying the situation. He stated, 'The Hindi song was for a Bollywood movie SRK is doing; this is the Punjabi version of 'Sapphire' with Arijit. I’m just doing all languages at this point.' Fans were thrilled by the possibility of Ed creating a Hindi song for a film starring Shah Rukh Khan.
Could It Be for 'King'?
Currently, Shah Rukh Khan is filming a movie titled 'King,' directed by Siddharth Anand. This film is particularly special as it marks the first collaboration between Khan and his daughter, Suhana Khan. The cast also includes notable actors like Rani Mukerji, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, and Arshad Warsi.
In Ed's behind-the-scenes video, fans noticed him interacting with director Siddharth Anand in a recording studio, leading to speculation that the Hindi song he mentioned might be intended for 'King.'
As of now, the title and additional details about the song remain undisclosed. The film 'King' is still in production, and its release date has yet to be announced.
