Director Siddharth Anand responded to the speculation with humour. In reaction to a viral tweet that questioned why Bollywood films often face trolling, Anand shared laughing emojis and an “okay” gesture, signalling that he was unfazed by plagiarism allegations. The tweet, which humorously critiqued fan debates about originality in Bollywood, placed three images side by side: Shah Rukh in Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017), Brad Pitt in F1, and the new King first look.
