Siddharth Anand subtly took a dig at filmmaker Sandeep Reddy Vanga and actor Prabhas in his birthday wish for Shah Rukh Khan on SRK's 60th birthday. Anand's message referred to Shah Rukh as "India's King," which sparked debate among fans because Sandeep Reddy Vanga's recent film teaser for Prabhas's movie *Spirit* labeled Prabhas as "India's Biggest Superstar," a title that SRK fans contested strongly online. Anand's use of "India's King" was seen as a subtle rebuttal to the claim of "India's Biggest Superstar" given to Prabhas in Vanga's teaser, underscoring SRK's legendary status and longstanding legacy in Indian cinema[4][5][9]. Additionally, Siddharth Anand released the first look poster of Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film *King* on SRK's birthday, which portrays SRK as a ruthless, merciless mercenary symbolizing his powerful stature, with the tagline emphasizing his fearsome reputation across "100 countries" and the single name "KING." This further reinforced SRK's enduring icon status, juxtaposed against the recent controversies around superstar titles[5]. In summary, Anand's birthday wish and film promotion for Shah Rukh appeared to be a thoughtful yet pointed response to the ongoing fan debates surrounding the titles of "King" and "Biggest Superstar" in Bollywood, particularly in the context of rising stars like Prabhas and their promoters[4][5].
