This tribute follows a series of city-wide festivities, including the Bandra-Worli Sea Link, which was recently lit up with greetings and images of the Bollywood icon.
Adding to the buzz, the actor recently dropped a striking new poster for King, offering a glimpse into his gritty, vengeful avatar.
