When Shah Rukh Khan turned 60, fans expected grand celebrations, but what they didn’t see coming was a full-blown meme festival. The first look from his upcoming film 'King' dropped on social media, and while SRK’s charisma stole hearts as usual, the internet couldn’t stop comparing his blue shirt and tan jacket combo to… well, almost everyone from Brad Pitt to Jadoo!
It all began when SRK’s rugged, suave first look from ‘King’ went viral. Fans were quick to spot a resemblance to Brad Pitt’s ‘F1’ movie outfit: the same colour palette, and the same effortlessly-cool vibe. But the comparisons didn’t stop there. Soon, social media was flooded with side-by-side pictures and cheeky captions claiming SRK had “entered the fashion multiverse.”
From there, things escalated fast. Rajinikanth’s iconic style from ‘Sivaji: The Boss’ entered the chat, with both legends sporting the tan jacket look with swag that only cinema icons can pull off.
Even brands couldn’t resist joining the fun. The official Netflix India account chimed in, reminding everyone that SRK himself had worn a similar outfit in ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’. And honestly, they’re not wrong. SRK has that rare ability to make even déjà vu look like a style statement.

As memes multiplied, creativity hit new levels. Some fans compared SRK’s look to Salman Khan’s ‘Chal Mere Bhai’ outfit, while others said Abhijeet from ‘CID’ had done it first. But the internet’s wildest comparison award went straight to Jadoo from ‘Koi Mil Gaya’.
Yep, someone actually drew parallels between SRK’s tan jacket look and the extraterrestrial fashion icon himself. Suddenly, “Who wore it better?” became “Who wore it across galaxies?”
What’s fascinating is how one outfit triggered an avalanche of nostalgia and humour. From 2000s Bollywood references to early 2010s fan-favourite looks, SRK’s wardrobe choice unintentionally united generations of movie lovers.
It’s proof that the internet’s collective memory is a goldmine, and when it comes to SRK, even a jacket can turn into a cultural crossover event.
So, here’s the real question, can two people -- or one person and an alien -- wear the same outfit without breaking the internet? Maybe not when it’s SRK. Because when the King steps out in style, the world doesn’t just watch… it memes.
