The posters of Dhurandhar 2 and King
Shah Rukh Khan just unveiled a new poster of his upcoming film King on social media. While the post was met with excitement from fans, some pointed out the striking similiarity with the poster of Dhurandhar 2.
Shah Rukh Khan unveiled a new poster of his next film, King, on Tuesday. The poster gives fans a closer look at SRK’s character, with the actor holding a rose between his lips as everything burns in the background. SRK captioned the post with a reference to a hit song from his film Baadshah and wrote, “Aaj phir yaad aaya...Qaatil nahi… Aashiq hoon…#KING In cinemas 24.12.26”
While Shah Rukh's intense look caught fans' attention, some internet users were quick to compare it with Ranveer Singh's poster in Dhurandhar 2. Many pointed out that King’s poster bore a striking resemblance to the Dhurandhar 2 poster in terms of colour grading, composition and overall aesthetics.
Fans find similarities between King and Dhurandhar 2 posters
One user wrote, "You can try to copy the aesthetic, the fire, and the frame, but you can never be Dhurandhar @iamsrk. ShahRukh Khan #King Poster is Cheap AI-generated Slop."
Another added, "Every masterpiece has its cheap copy."
"The official #King poster has been copied from the #Dhurandhar2 poster....But even after copying, SRK looks like a joker in this poster. Even his own fans didn't like it!!," remarked a viewer.
“Knew someone would drag Dhurandhar into this. Not every similar-looking poster is a copy, bro. If you've got actual proof, show it. Otherwise, comparing two posters and yelling “copy” isn't the flex you think it is," a fan said.
