Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s scenes from 'King' leaked from South Africa

Deepika Padukone isn't letting her second pregnancy slow her down. The diva has arrived on the sets of King in South Africa to film a highly anticipated song with Shah Rukh Khan. Leaks from the song shoot are already making the rounds, giving us a first look at what’s set to be one of the biggest movies of 2026.

The internet exploded last evening as visuals from the Cape Town schedule of the king made their way to social media. The leaked visuals capture a beautiful, cozy moment between Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone during a song sequence, sending SRK and DP fans into a celebratory mood. It’s the first look at their on-screen dynamic for the 2026 blockbuster, with the leak elevating the anticipation for the film to a new level.

The leaked pictures give the audience a great look at the aesthetic for King. SRK is seen rocking a cool, striped shirt and trousers that just ooze effortless charm, while Deepika looks absolutely radiant in a breezy floral dress. They look like the perfect summer pair against that Cape Town backdrop.

As if the hand-in-hand photos weren't enough, another video from the King set shows SRK filming a solo sequence in a vibrant orange shirt. He’s seen sitting inside a car with a track blasting in the background. Fans are already speculating that the song might actually be a rumoured collaboration with Ed Sheeran.

Filmmaker Siddharth Anand’s King is shaping up to be one of the biggest cinematic events of 2026. Scheduled for a December 24th release, the movie shows Shah Rukh as a deadly assassin and his daughter Suhana Khan playing his young protege.

The movie will feature a high-octane action sequence that highlights unique father-daughter dynamics. With Deepika Padukone playing an extended cameo, this film has all the ingredients to be a total game-changer for the holiday season.
