Days after Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his 60th birthday, fans were treated to a pleasant surprise from photographer Colston Julian. The renowned celebrity photographer posted a set of unseen photos featuring Shah Rukh dressed in an Indian Army uniform, mostly taken during one of their earlier shoots at Mehboob Studios.

Julian captioned the post, “Shahrukh KHAN photographed on location at Mehboob Studios.” The pictures include a striking long shot of the actor in full uniform and several close-ups that capture his signature charm, one of them featuring him in an Army cap.

While the exact date of the shoot remains unknown, fans believe the pictures were taken several years ago, possibly before or during the pandemic, judging by the actor’s look. The uniform bears the name tag Abhimanyu Rai, which many quickly recognised as the name of Shah Rukh’s character from his debut TV show Fauji. This detail sparked speculation that the photoshoot may have been a creative tribute to
his early career.
