Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are reportedly preparing to reunite for a grand song sequence in their upcoming film King. According to Variety, filming is scheduled to begin in Mumbai on October 26, with choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant reportedly leading the sequence.

‘King’ song shoot reportedly begins October 26
Preparations are reportedly underway in Mumbai for the upcoming sequence, which is expected to bring together several members of the film’s principal cast.
Merchant, known for choreographing elaborate Bollywood song sequences, is reportedly overseeing the number. However, the makers have yet to officially announce details about the song or confirm the reported shooting schedule.
The sequence would mark another collaboration between Khan and Padukone, whose on-screen partnership has become a familiar part of contemporary Hindi cinema.
Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s on-screen journey
Khan and Padukone first appeared together in Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om in 2007, which marked Padukone’s debut in Hindi cinema. Their pairing subsequently returned in Rohit Shetty’s Chennai Express (2013) and Happy New Year (2014).
The actors reunited in 2023 for Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan and Atlee’s Jawan. Their collaborations have spanned romance, comedy, and action, helping establish them as one of Bollywood’s recognizable on-screen pairs.
Their reunion in King is therefore among the film’s key talking points, particularly as the project brings together a large ensemble cast.
Siddharth Anand’s ‘King’ features an ensemble cast
Anand directs King and has co-written the screenplay with Sujoy Ghosh, Suresh Nair, and Sagar Pandya. Khan leads the film, with Padukone among its prominent cast members.
The project also features Suhana Khan, who is set to make her theatrical debut with the film. Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Jaideep Ahlawat, Jackie Shroff, Raghav Juyal, and Abhay Verma are also part of the ensemble.
Khan’s most recent theatrical release was Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki, which arrived in theaters in December 2023. That year also saw the actor headline Pathaan and Jawan, both of which became major box office successes.
With Anand directing and a high-profile cast assembled, King remains one of Khan’s most anticipated upcoming projects. The reported song sequence adds another development to the film’s production, although further details are still awaited.
