Mumbai’s iconic Bandra-Worli Sea Link became the centre of attention after a massive digital display celebrating the actor and his much-anticipated film illuminated the landmark ahead of his birthday on November 2.
The impressive tribute caught the attention of fans and residents, adding a special touch to the birthday celebrations. Images and videos of the illuminated structure quickly attracted attention on social media, with admirers celebrating the unique gesture for their favourite superstar.
Shah Rukh Khan Steps Out to Witness the Special Tribute
The celebration became even more memorable when Shah Rukh Khan decided to see the spectacular display himself. The actor stepped out in his car late at night and drove to the Bandra-Worli Sea Link to witness the special arrangement organised in his honour.

The film also features Suhana Khan, Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji and Jaideep Ahlawat in important roles. King is scheduled to release in theatres on December 24, 2026.
