Deepika Padukone starts filming 'King' with Shah Rukh Khan

Posting a picture of herself holding Shah Rukh Khan’s hand, Deepika Padukone wrote, “The very first lesson he taught me almost 18 years ago while filming Om Shanti Om was that the experience of making a movie, and the people you make it with, matter far more than its success. I couldn’t agree more and have applied that learning to every decision I’ve made since. And that’s probably why we’re back making our 6th movie together? (sic).”

Padukone made her Bollywood debut opposite Khan in ‘Om Shanti Om’ (2007), which went on to become a blockbuster. Since then, the pair have co-starred in several major films, including ‘Chennai Express’, ‘Happy New Year’, and most recently ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’ (2023).
