The teaser of Shah Rukh Khan's much-anticipated King immediately set the internet ablaze as Shah Rukh appeared in a dark, menacing avatar, with silver hair, a bloodied face, and a trail of chaos in his wake.

With a fiery look, he delivered chilling lines, "Kitne khoon kiye ye yaad nahi. Ache log they ya bure kabhi pucha nahi. Bas unki aankhon me ehsas dekha, ye unki aakhri saans hai. Aur main uski wajah. Hazaar jurm, 100 deshon me badnam, duniya ne diya, sirf ek hi naam. Darr nahi deh shat hoon."'

Amidst the praise he's been receiving, there's a whole new section of fans - from memes comparing him to Amitabh Bachchan, Rajesh Khanna, and Dharmendra ("the OGs who did it before anyone else") to tweets like "While they copy, he turned it into a classic decades ago" and "One glimpse of #King and it's already the talk of the nation," fans made sure the superstar's style moment turned into an online phenomenon.

With growing comparisons of his look to King, a new outfit trend is now buzzing across the internet. And it's safe to say, this trend isn't stopping anytime soon.
