What is being sold as a fresh setback for KING by a certain publication has instead triggered a credibility check on social media, where users are pointing out that Siddharth Anand had already publicly indicated Sachin-Jigar’s association with the film months ago.
That older post has now become central to the online pushback. On January 26, 2026, Siddharth Anand wrote, “And Sachin Jigar.” With that line back in circulation, users are questioning why an already acknowledged musical association is now being projected as a sudden problem for the film.
Old Posts Are Driving The Pushback
One of the posts that sharpened the reaction came from Film Culture, which wrote, “Anirudh AND Sachin-Jigar on #King’s BGM! The director himself acknowledged it 10 MONTHS AGO. Just saying!” The point was blunt: if the director had already acknowledged the duo’s involvement months ago, the current framing begins to look less like a revelation and more like selective storytelling.
Aavishkar posted an even sharper response that quickly gained traction online: “Anirudh moving out of #KING is such a cunningly manufactured wordplay narrative. It’s not even a news, let alone breaking news. I mean what the hell are you talking about? He was not at all there for the entire music album. He did his work. And moved to next project. As simple as that.”
That, in turn, prompted another user, KING, to seek clarity on the exact scope of Anirudh Ravichander’s contribution. The user wrote, “It’s not About Music,its About Background Score we Know ani not involved in music from Start:
So,he is in BGM or Not??”

Aavishkar replied with a more detailed explanation: “Of course he did. Ani and Sachin-Jigar both worked. There is not only one BGM no. Multiple BGMs as per character and situation. That teaser on is only for SRK’s character.”
Why The Framing Is Being Questioned
The issue online is not whether Anirudh contributed to KING at all. The pushback is about how an old, publicly visible arrangement is suddenly being recast as a fresh setback. That distinction is precisely why Anand’s January 2026 post is being used as the main counterpoint in this debate.
For many users, the current chatter flattens a more layered music setup into a convenient controversy. Instead of revealing something new, they argue, it strips away context that had already been out in the open for months.
King’s Team And Release Status
KING is directed by Siddharth Anand and produced by Red Chillies Entertainment. The action thriller stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, alongside Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Jackie Shroff, Jaideep Ahlawat, Raghav Juyal, Anil Kapoor and Rani Mukerji. The film is scheduled to release in cinemas on December 24, 2026.
For now, the online mood around KING is less about alarm and more about irritation, especially at what many see as a neatly manufactured narrative around a film whose creative setup was never quite as sudden as it is now being made to seem.
