The year 2026 is gearing up for some massive box-office clashes. Shah Rukh Khan is preparing to return with his much-awaited action film King, slated for release at the end of next year. On the other hand, Ranbir Kapoor has two big projects lined up — Love and War and the next chapter of Ramayana, both of which have created huge anticipation among fans.

But before their films arrive in theaters, Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor have unexpectedly locked horns — and the showdown lasted barely a minute! Alia Bhatt also made a grand appearance in the same frame. So what exactly is going on? Is this a movie scene, a teaser, or something else entirely?

SRK’s “King” vs Ranbir’s “Ramayana”: A Surprise Clash No One Saw Coming

Shah Rukh Khan is currently focused on King, in which he stars alongside his daughter Suhana Khan. Meanwhile, Ranbir Kapoor is set to resume shooting for Ramayana: Part 2, though Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s ongoing work has temporarily slowed down his other commitments.

In the midst of all this, director Siddharth Anand dropped a surprising video on social media, and fans haven't stopped talking about it. The clip shows a youthful-looking Shah Rukh Khan, while Ranbir appears in a look reminiscent of Brahmastra.

Ranbir Kapoor Throws the First Punch

The one-minute video opens dramatically — Ranbir Kapoor punches Shah Rukh Khan straight in the face, saying:

“Bachao apna sar, Vikram Rathore.”

SRK immediately counters with a powerful punch of his own and even lifts Ranbir Kapoor up with one hand — in complete Jawan-style swagger.

Just when the fight intensifies, Alia Bhatt makes a dazzling entry. Styled exactly like her character from Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani, she steps in and stops the brawl. Both actors freeze at her command.

Alia Tries to Stop the Fight — But SRK & Ranbir Start Again

But the calm doesn’t last long. As soon as Alia exits the frame, Shah Rukh and Ranbir resume fighting. She comes back once more to stop them, and the duo hilariously crash into a pillar.

Fans expected this to be a teaser for a major multi-starrer film — but the truth is something else.

Not a Film Scene — It’s an Advertisement Shoot!

Despite going viral across social media as a “movie scene”, the clip is not from any film, trailer, or upcoming project.

It is actually an advertisement featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Ranbir Kapoor, styled in their iconic Jawan and Brahmastra avatars. The two have shot multiple ads together previously, and this new clip is simply a part of that campaign — though its cinematic execution made many believe it was a real movie scene.
