T-Series Secures King's Music Rights for 50 Years

T-Series has finalized an extensive 50-year agreement granting them exclusive global commercial music rights for the highly anticipated film King. This landmark deal, facilitated through Red Chillies Entertainment and Zee Music Company, provides T-Series with complete control over the film's musical assets, including songs and music videos, for the next five decades.

The acquisition is characterized as a long-term strategic move, dispelling earlier industry rumors of a shorter licensing arrangement. A spokesperson confirmed T-Series' absolute commercial monopoly over the audio and music video rights, ensuring their management extends far beyond the film's theatrical run, which is slated for a Christmas release.

Directed by Siddharth Anand, King boasts a star-studded cast including Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, and Suhana Khan. The film's soundtrack is poised to be a major draw, with music by Sachin-Jigar and background score by Anirudh Ravichander. Notably, it is expected to feature a collaboration between international artist Ed Sheeran and Indian singer Arijit Singh, generating significant pre-release buzz.
