Shah Rukh Khan Birthday: Ajay, Anil Kapoor Wish the King

The line works because it is true. Ajay and SRK became stars in the same era, often competed at the box office and built very different screen images. Behind all that is a long acquaintance that Ajay chose to celebrate with one photograph.

Anil Kapoor, who is known for his boundless energy, wrote a longer and more playful note while sharing a string of throwback memories with the superstar. "Happy Birthday, Shahrukh! Years of laughter, countless memories and you haven't lost an ounce of that charm or madness and clearly neither of us is counting the years. Here's to many more. Jaldi milte hai, Lots of love always!"

The joke about not counting the years suits both of them. Anil and SRK shared the screen in Trimurti (1995), which also starred Jackie Shroff, and three decades later neither shows any sign of slowing down.

The birthday surprise from SRK's side

While friends were sending wishes, Shah Rukh gave his fans a gift of his own. He unveiled 'Tu Mil Jaaye', the first track from his upcoming action film King.

The romantic song features SRK with Deepika Padukone, a pairing audiences have welcomed again and again. It also has an unusual mix of voices. Arijit Singh sings the melody, and global pop star Ed Sheeran adds an English rap that he wrote himself. Sachin-Jigar composed the music, Kumaar wrote the lyrics, and Piyush-Shazia choreographed it.

King is directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment in collaboration with Marflix Pictures. The cast includes Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Jaideep Ahlawat, Abhay Verma and Arshad Warsi in pivotal roles.

Together, the throwbacks and the new song capture where SRK stands at 61. His contemporaries are celebrating three decades of friendship, and he is releasing new music from one of his biggest upcoming films on the same day.

This story is based on posts shared on Ajay Devgn's and Anil Kapoor's official social media accounts.
