Deepika Padukone returned to filming for 'King' on April 21, 2026, just two days after her pregnancy announcement. She participated in a two-day shoot for an action sequence with Shah Rukh Khan at Golden Tobacco Studio in Vile Parle.

This marks the sixth film collaboration for Padukone and Khan, following their previous box office successes.
Beyond 'King', Padukone's busy schedule includes a role in the Allu Arjun-starrer 'Raaka'. She previously welcomed her first child, Dua, with husband Ranveer Singh in September 2024.
