Pregnant Deepika Padukone, expecting her second child with Ranveer Singh, has been spotted on the set of Shah Rukh Khan's upcoming film, King in Cape Town, South Africa. The pictures and video from the set have already gone viral on social media, with fans gushing over Deepika's million-dollar smile and dapper appearance alongside SRK. This marks Deepika's sixth collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, following their successful partnerships in Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Pathaan, and Jawan. However, Deepika recently exited two high-profile projects due to an 8-hour work shift demand and other reasons.
One user on Reddit expressed their admiration for Deepika's presence, stating, '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 fan praised Shah Rukh Khan's ageless charm, noting, '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.'
The film, directed by Siddharth Anand, is described as an action drama that blends style and content. It stars Deepika Padukone, Shah Rukh Khan, Suhana Khan, and Abhishek Bachchan. Deepika's collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan has been a significant aspect of her career, and she has shared heartfelt notes about their working relationship, emphasizing the importance of the experience and the people involved in filmmaking over its success. This marks a special moment for Deepika, as she reflects on the lessons she learned from Shah Rukh Khan nearly 18 years ago, which have guided her career decisions.
The film's production is handled by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, and it is expected to be a visually stunning and action-packed spectacle. With Deepika's pregnancy adding a layer of excitement to the project, fans are eagerly awaiting the release of King.
