A behind-the-scenes video from the South Africa shoot of King has gone viral, showing a heartwarming moment between Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone during filming. The clip surfaced shortly after leaked images from the set gained widespread attention online, further fueling excitement around the project.

In the video, Deepika Padukone—who recently announced her second pregnancy—is seen walking up a flight of stairs between takes.
