New Delhi:
Deepika Padukone, who recently stepped away from high-profile projects like Kalki 2898 AD, has already begun work on another exciting film.
Deepika Padukone has started filming for King, her sixth collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan.
The pair were last seen together in Jawan.
On Saturday, Deepika shared a candid photo on Instagram from the first day of shooting, holding Shah Rukh Khan's hand.
Along with the picture, she wrote a heartfelt note about what she learned from him nearly "18 years" ago: "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. #king #day1."
King marks the sixth time Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone will appear together on screen. They first worked together in the blockbuster Om Shanti Om and later in hits like Chennai Express, Happy New Year, Pathaan, and Jawan.
This news comes shortly after Deepika was officially dropped from the sequel to Prabhas' Kalki 2898 AD. On Thursday, the production house Vyjayanthi Movies announced on their X account that they had decided to part ways with her after "careful consideration."
The statement read, "This is to officially announce that @deepikapadukone will not be a part of the upcoming sequel to Kalki 2898 AD. After careful consideration, we have decided to part ways. Despite the long journey of making the first film, we were unable to find a partnership. A film like Kalki 2898 AD deserves that commitment and much more. We wish her the best with her future works."
Earlier in May, there were reports that Deepika had been replaced in another major film, Prabhas's Spirit, directed by Sandeep Reddy Vanga. The makers later confirmed that Animal actress Triptii Dimri had joined the cast.
