Deepika Padukone,<\/a> who’s expecting her second child with Ranveer Singh this year, has been spotted shooting with Shah Rukh Khan for\u00a0King\u00a0in Cape Town, South Africa, recently. Pictures and a short video from the set are already viral on social media. In the pictures, Deepika is seen sporting her million-dollar smile. She’s wearing a flowy dress, while Shah Rukh Khan looks dapper in a striped shirt, a pair of shades, and a pendant. They were reportedly shooting for a song.<\/p>\n

As soon as the pictures went viral on Reddit, fans jumped into action.<\/p>\n

A user wrote:<\/a> “My eyes always land on Deepika even if she’s not in focus in the pic, even when I haven’t read the caption to expect her in the pic. She’s something else, man\u2014look at her.”<\/p>\n

Another user wrote: “SRK looking incredible for 60. He doesn’t need all the CGI they end up using in the final product. Hopefully they tone that shit down, but since this is obviously a flashback, I’m guessing they won’t.”<\/p>\n

Another user wrote: “Deepika looks absolutely gorgeous whenever she lets her hair down. And of course, Shahrukh.”<\/p>\n

Deepika Started Shooting in September 2025<\/p>\n

Last year, Deepika shared an official post announcing her collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan in\u00a0King.<\/p>\n

She shared a picture where she’s seen holding Shah Rukh’s hand.<\/p>\n

Along with the picture, she wrote a heartfelt note about what she learned from him nearly 18 years ago: “The very first lesson he taught me almost 18 years ago while filming\u00a0Om Shanti Om\u00a0was that the experience of making a movie, and the people you make it with, matter far more than its success. I couldn’t agree more and have applied that learning to every decision I’ve made since. And that’s probably why we’re back making our 6th movie together. #King #Day1.”<\/p>\n

King\u00a0marks Deepika’s sixth collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan.<\/p>\n

They first worked together in the blockbuster\u00a0Om Shanti Om\u00a0and later in hits like\u00a0Chennai Express,\u00a0Happy New Year,\u00a0Pathaan, and\u00a0Jawan.<\/p>\n

Deepika exited two high-profile projects\u2014Sandeep Reddy Vanga’s\u00a0Spirit\u00a0and the sequel to\u00a0Kalki 2898 AD\u2014over an 8-hour work shift demand, among other reasons.<\/p>\n

About King<\/p>\n

Directed by Siddharth Anand, it’s touted to be an action drama that amalgamates style and content.<\/p>\n

Produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures,\u00a0King\u00a0also stars Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan.<\/p>\n
