Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are reuniting on screen once again and this time, the duo is gearing up for a grand song sequence in King. The upcoming action entertainer is building excitement ahead of its Christmas release, and a mega song featuring the film’s cast is now in the works.
According to Variety India, the song shoot is scheduled to begin in Mumbai on October 26, with preparations already underway. Choreographer Vaibhavi Merchant will lead the sequence, which is expected to feature the entire cast. The team is planning an elaborate shoot spread across a week, making it one of the major musical sequences in the film.
Interestingly, this will mark Vaibhavi Merchant’s eighth collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan. The choreographer last worked with the superstar on Jawan, and their reunion for King has added another talking point to the film’s growing buzz.
King Song To Be Shot In Mumbai
There was earlier speculation that the King team might travel to South Africa to film the song. However, the latest plan is to shoot the sequence in Mumbai itself. With extensive preparations underway, the makers appear to be planning a grand visual spectacle for the big-screen entertainer.
While the complete details of the song remain under wraps, its expected ensemble presence makes it an interesting addition to the film. With SRK and Deepika sharing screen space again, the sequence could become one of the major highlights of King.
Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone Reunite For Their Sixth Film
King will mark Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s sixth film together. Their on-screen journey began with Farah Khan’s Om Shanti Om in 2007, which also marked Deepika’s Hindi film debut opposite SRK.
The pair went on to deliver two more popular collaborations with Chennai Express (2013) and Happy New Year (2014). They later reunited for Pathaan and Jawan in 2023, both of which featured the duo in action-packed roles.
Now, King brings them together once again, raising expectations among fans eager to see their chemistry on the big screen.
Interestingly, reports have also suggested that Kareena Kapoor Khan is set to make a special appearance alongside Shah Rukh Khan in King. The duo reportedly shot for a special song titled “Daddy Cool” during a five-day schedule in South Africa.
