After the announcement of her second pregnancy, fans were waiting for Deepika Padukone's public appearance. A series of pictures was released where she was spotted in Cape Town shooting for King with Shah Rukh Khan. Dressed in a metallic golden dress holding hands with Shah Rukh Khan and giving her iconic smile. The pictures and a short video from the set have already gone viral on social media.

In the pictures, Deepika is seen smiling warmly. Shah Rukh Khan appears stylish in a striped shirt. He is also wearing sunglasses and a pendant. Reports suggest that the two actors were filming a song sequence.

As soon as the pictures appeared on Reddit, fans quickly reacted. Many users shared their thoughts and praised both actors.

A user wrote: "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, look at her."

Another user focused on Shah Rukh Khan’s appearance and 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."

A third user admired Deepika’s natural beauty and commented, "Deepika looks absolutely gorgeous whenever she lets her hair down. And of course, Shahrukh."

Deepika began working on King in September 2025. Last year, she officially announced her collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan by sharing a post on social media. In the post, she included a picture where she is seen holding Shah Rukh Khan’s hand.

Along with the picture, she wrote about an important lesson she learned from him nearly 18 years ago, when they first worked together on Om Shanti Om.

She wrote: "The very first lesson he taught me almost 18 years ago while filming Om Shanti Om was 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."

King is the sixth film that Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan are working on together. Their on-screen partnership has been very successful over the years. They first appeared together in Om Shanti Om, which was a major hit. After that, they starred in several popular films, including Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Pathaan, and Jawan.

Before starting King, Deepika made headlines for stepping away from two major projects. One was Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The other was the sequel to Kalki 2898 AD. She reportedly left these projects due to several reasons, including a demand for an 8-hour work shift.

The film King is directed by Siddharth Anand. It is described as an action drama that combines style with strong storytelling. The movie is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures.

In addition to Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan, the film also features Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan in important roles.

With the recent pictures and videos gaining attention online, fans are now even more excited about King. The film brings together a popular cast and a successful director, making it one of the most anticipated upcoming projects.
