Excitement levels online are at maximum regardless. Fans are thrilled that SRK's dominion will now extend to streaming as well. "King Khan ab OTT pe raj karega (King Khan will rule over OTT now)," read one thrilled comment on SRK's post.

Filmmaker Anurag Kashyap revealed in a tweet that will be collaborating on SRK+ - "Dream come true! Collaborating with @iamsrk on his new OTT app, SRK+," Anurag Kashyap tweeted:

Shah Rukh Khan's self-imposed social media hiatus began last year after his son Aryan was arrested in a drug bust; Aryan was released on bail about a month later. SRK has only recently returned to public life, sharing several advertisements he stars in among with other social media posts, one of which was the teaser for his new film Pathaan. Pathaan co-stars Deepika Padukone and releases in January 2023.
