Anirudh Ravichander has withdrawn from composing music for Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film ‘King’, citing a packed schedule, and has gifted the film’s theme track to the duo Sachin‑Jigar.
Bollywood’s leading composer Anirudh Ravichander announced that he will no longer be part of the music team for Shah Rukh Khan’s much‑anticipated project ‘King’. The decision comes as his calendar became increasingly congested with other commitments, leaving him unable to devote the required time to the film.
Before stepping away, Anirudh recorded a short theme piece for the movie and has presented it to the star as a token of goodwill. He said the track reflects the grand scale of the project and hopes it will complement the final score.
The production house has confirmed that the veteran music duo Sachin‑Jigar will take over full responsibility for the soundtrack. Known for their versatile compositions across Hindi cinema, the pair are expected to deliver a mix of high‑energy numbers and emotive background scores that suit the film’s action‑drama narrative.
Industry observers note that Anirudh’s exit, while unexpected, does not alter the film’s release timeline. Fans can look forward to a fresh musical direction under Sachin‑Jigar, with Anirudh’s theme likely to feature as a signature motif within the larger score.
