Pop star Ed Sheeran says he first approached Shah Rukh Khan about appearing in his “Sapphire” music video, and that visit to the actor’s home later led to him writing and recording his verse for “Tu Mil Jaaye” from Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film “King.” Multiple outlets report that Sheeran references an earlier meeting with Khan and their friendship as the background to the collaboration.
Sheeran also describes his reaction to the final lineup for the track, saying he is pleased Arijit Singh sings on it alongside him. The reporting ties the story to Sheeran’s time in India, including a visit to “Mannat,” and frames “Tu Mil Jaaye” as part of “King’s” music release. Several outlets identify the film’s director, and at least one specifies the song’s release timing for fans.
Across outlets, the differences are mainly in which details they emphasize—some focus on how Sheeran got the Bollywood opportunity, others on the exact circumstances of writing and recording his verse, and others on the earlier “Sapphire” cameo request and the broader friendship context.
