Superstar Shah Rukh Khan on Tuesday left his fans surprised when he teased the launch of his OTT platform. Taking to Twitter, the actor shared the announcement poster that read, "SRK+, coming soon." As soon as he did the same, friends like Karan Johar, Salman Khan and industry collaborators such as Anurag Kashyap shared congratulatory messages and tweets for the star. Not only this but the fans were super excited to know about the new application. The audience has been waiting to see SRK again ever since he was last seen in Aanand L Rai's directorial 'Zero.' And as soon as the news was shared, it left everyone wondering as to how the app would flourish looking at the actor's fandom for decades. There were users who said that the game of Netflix, Amazon Prime and others are over now that the King has made his way into the OTT space.
The 56-year-old actor, who has been away from the big screen since his last release "Zero" in 2018, captioned the post "Kuch kuch hone wala hai, OTT ki duniya mein (Something is going to happen in the world of OTT". Shah Rukh and his production banner Red Chillies Entertainment, however, are yet to confirm if SRK+ is indeed his new OTT app.
