Deepika Padukone was five months pregnant during shoot of Shah Rukh Khan’s 'Tu Mil Jaaye' song from KING
Deepika Padukone was five months pregnant during the filming of Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’ from KING — a detail now confirmed by multiple reports, though not officially acknowledged by the production. The song, released on SRK’s birthday, marks the first time the two have shared screen space since 2015’s Chennai Express, reigniting conversations about their on-screen chemistry and off-screen lives.
The shoot took place in Cape Town, before the couple welcomed their daughter Devi, and while glimpses of the set had circulated online following their pregnancy announcement, the official music video offers the first full visual confirmation. In the final edit, Padukone’s condition is carefully masked, through layered costumes, lighting choices, and camera angles, but behind-the-scenes accounts suggest she was visibly pregnant during key sequences.
Bollywood Hungama reports the detail as an established fact among insiders, though no statement has been issued by Red Chillies Entertainment or Marflix Pictures. The track itself is a genre-blending effort: Arijit Singh delivers the lead vocals, Ed Sheeran contributes a rap verse in English, and Madhubanti Bagchi adds depth with her voice.
Sachin-Jigar composed the score, Kumaar penned the lyrics, and choreography was handled by Piyush-Shazia. The song blends romantic moments between Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone with high-octane action and dramatic dialogue, offering a glimpse into the world of KING, an action thriller directed by Siddharth Anand, who previously collaborated with SRK on Pathaan.
The film is produced under Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures by Gauri Khan, Mamta Anand, and Siddharth Anand. It stars Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, alongside Suhana Khan in her theatrical debut, and features an ensemble cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, Raghav Juyal, and Abhay Verma.
KING is scheduled for a global release in cinemas on December 24, 2026. Meanwhile, ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’ is available on streaming platforms, with its music video released on Zee Music Company and T-Series YouTube channels. The revelation adds emotional weight to a scene already framed around love, sacrifice, and transformation, making audiences wonder how much of the performance was shaped by real-life timing.
The film’s release date remains unchanged. The next step? Waiting for the full movie.
