Veteran photographer Colston Julian recently shared unseen throwback pictures of Shah Rukh Khan dressed as an army officer, and the internet has gone into a meltdown. These stunning photos from an undated shoot at Mehboob Studios show SRK looking absolutely dashing in military attire, reminding everyone why the uniform looks so good on him.
The pictures shared by Colston Julian on his Instagram include both long shots and close ups of Shah Rukh in the Indian Army uniform. One photo shows him wearing the Army cap, while others capture his face in powerful detail. What makes these photos even more interesting is that the uniform includes a name tag that reads Abhimanyu Rai, which was Shah Rukh’s character name in Fauji, his debut TV show. This detail has led fans to believe that this might have been a special concept shoot paying tribute to the show that launched his incredible career.
The Uniform That Looks Stunning On Him
Fans quickly flooded the comments section with love and appreciation for the photos. Many wrote that the uniform looks absolutely stunning on Shah Rukh and suits him perfectly. The timing of these photos is also special, as they were shared just days after the superstar celebrated his 60th birthday. For fans, this was like a bonus birthday gift, getting to see their favorite actor in a never seen before avatar. While the photographer did not reveal when exactly these pictures were taken, Shah Rukh’s face suggests this was an older shoot, possibly from before the pandemic.
Shah Rukh Khan And His Love For Army Roles
Shah Rukh Khan has played men in uniform multiple times throughout his legendary career. It all began with Fauji, the TV show that made him a household name. Since then, he has donned the uniform in iconic films like Main Hoon Na, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, Veer Zaara, and most recently Jawan. Each time, he brought something unique to the role, making the character memorable. For many fans, seeing Shah Rukh in an army uniform is like witnessing a dream come true, especially since the actor himself once wanted to be an army officer.
In a famous old interview with Rajiv Shukla, Shah Rukh revealed that he wanted to join the army. However, when he was at army school, he was told to cut his hair short. The young Shah Rukh refused, and that decision changed the course of his life forever. Instead of becoming an army officer, he became the King of Bollywood. But his respect and love for the armed forces has always remained, which is why he continues to portray these roles with so much dignity and passion.
About King
Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Dunki in 2023, directed by Rajkumar Hirani. The film earned Rs 470 crore worldwide. He will next be seen in King, directed by Siddharth Anand.
