Do you still remember when the last time you watched Shah Rukh Khan on the screen (apart from the ads, ofcourse) was? It was back in 2018, depending on whether or you watched his last film Zero. He’s back on-screen, and probably in a look never seen before.
The KKR Fan anthem performed and composed by Badshah features the fan themselves alongside, KKR players and Shah Rukh Khan, bringing to life the hysteria and frenzy that is witnessed during the KKR matches.
Amid all the rumours of watching Shah Rukh Khan in films directed by Atlee, Rajkumar Hirani, Siddharth Anand, we finally saw him performing in an anthem made for his IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders.

With social distancing norms in place this IPL, the enthusiasm, energy and support of the fans is being missed immensely. The fan anthem is a celebration of the bond that the KKR team and its fans have shared over the years. The catchphrase of the anthem, ‘LAPHAO’ in Bengali means to JUMP and signifies the cheering of the fans, especially in their absence.
The video has a rap by Badshah, and no Shah doesn’t lip-sync any lines. But he has a dhamaakedar entry along reciting some inspirational lines in his trademarked King Khan style.
The KKR fan anthem was announced today, during a fun virtual chat between the KKR players, and Shah Rukh Khan in the presence of the fans, the anthem was then launched by the fans themselves on social media.
