Deepika Padukone starts shooting for Shah Rukh Khan’s King after exit from Kalki 2898 AD sequel 

 Bollywood actor Deepika Padukone penned a heartfelt note on social media as she started shooting her next film, King, with superstar Shah Rukh Khan. The movie marks the sixth collaboration between Deepika and Shah Rukh, who have previously starred together in several films, beginning with her acting debut in 2007’s Om Shanti Om. They went on to appear in Chennai Express (2013), Happy New Year (2014), Pathaan (2023) and Jawan (2023).

In the post, which comes days after her exit from the sequel to her 2024 Telugu blockbuster Kalki 2898 AD, Deepika thanked SRK for teaching her a valuable lesson that she has applied to every decision since.

“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,” Deepika, 39, wrote on Instagram alongside a photo where she is seemingly holding the superstar’s hand. King reunites Deepika as well as Shah Rukh with filmmaker Siddharth Anand, who had directed Pathaan. The new movie will reportedly also feature SRK’s daughter Suhana Khan.
