Mumbai: The internet is buzzing with a brand-new style face-off and this time, it’s between two global icons, Shah Rukh Khan and Brad Pitt. On his 60th birthday, Shah Rukh Khan treated fans to the teaser of his much-awaited action drama King, directed by Siddharth Anand. But beyond the high-octane action, one particular look from the teaser has set social media on fire, fans say it reminds them of Brad Pitt’s look from F1: The Movie.
In the teaser, SRK is wearing a mustard suede jacket with a light blue denim shirt underneath, a crossbody bag, and aviator sunglasses. His rough beard and grey hair are the finishing touches to the dramatic but stylish appearance. Fans were quick to notice that this outfit looks almost identical to Brad Pitt’s F1 costume, where the Hollywood actor wore a similar suede jacket, unbuttoned denim shirt, and sunglasses, giving off that same effortless cool vibe.
The outfit perfectly fits the tone of King, a sleek, international-style action drama that blends style with substance. The mustard jacket adds warmth and vintage ruggedness, while the denim shirt gives a relaxed, masculine touch. The bag and shades bring a modern traveler feel, and the grey hair and stubble highlight maturity and power.
Within hours of the teaser’s release, side by side comparisons of the two stars flooded the internet. Many fans called it a “global fashion moment,” while others playfully said, “SRK just made Brad Pitt’s look even cooler!” Many Users even trolled SRK and called him “cheap copy of Brad Pitt”.
