On the work front, SRK and Padukone will be next seen sharing the screen space in King. According to a report by Pinkvilla, sources revealed that Shah Rukh Khan was keen on having Deepika Padukone in his upcoming film King from the very beginning.

However, initial scheduling conflicts arose as Deepika was on a break to spend time with her newborn and focus on fitness. With delays in the film's schedule, the timelines eventually aligned, allowing her to come on board.

The source also noted that, during the interim, Khan had briefly considered Kareena Kapoor Khan and Katrina Kaif for the role due to the date issues. King also stars Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, and Arshad Warsi.
