This sweet exchange between the duo, who have worked together in films like Om Shanti Om (Deepika's debut movie), was one of the highlights of the summit, showcasing their deep bond and comfort with one another.
Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are one of Bollywood’s most iconic on-screen pairs, having delivered hits like Chennai Express, Happy New Year and the recent blockbuster Pathaan. Their chemistry has consistently won hearts, and fans now have another reason to celebrate. As per an exclusive report by Pinkvilla, Deepika is set to star in SRK’s much-anticipated film King, which will be directed by Sujoy Ghosh and produced by Siddharth Anand.
While Anand has not officially confirmed Deepika’s involvement, the buzz around her casting has only grown stronger, especially given their successful collaboration in Pathaan. King is expected to feature Shah Rukh in a gritty, action-heavy role, with Deepika reportedly playing a fierce and layered character. The film marks yet another powerful reunion for the duo, who continue to redefine on-screen partnerships in Hindi cinema with each project they take on together.
