Is SRK gearing up for his web debut?

Is Shah Rukh Khan readying for a web debut? The trail of crumbs certainly seems to be pointing in that direction if a new promotional video shared by Karan Johar is anything to go by.

In the video, which Johar shared on Twitter and Instagram, Khan is seen standing on the balcony of his home, speaking to a man who appears to be his secretary. As the superstar waves out to the crowds below, he questions in Hindi: “Have you ever seen such crowds gather for any other star?”

The man replies: “No sir, definitely not. But who knows what the future holds.”

“Really?” replies Khan. When the secretary responds that other stars have films and TV show dropping on a streaming platform, such as Akshay [Kumar], Ajay [Devgn], Saif [Ali Khan], Sanjay [Dutt]. When Khan asks whether everyone is on the streamers, the man replies, “well, not everyone,” pointedly looking at the actor, while adding: “You aren’t.”

In a tweet posted alongside the video that Johar shared, the Bollywood filmmaker and BFF to Khan wrote: “Never thought I’d see the day when even the Baadshah of Bollywood feels FOMO [fear of missing out]. Now I’ve seen everything!! @iamsrk”

The video ended with a ‘to be continued’, with Khan himself saying this isn’t the complete picture.
