Director Siddharth Anand requests fans not to share leaked pics from Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone's 'King' shoot in South Africa. Film releases Dec 2026.

"Please do not post or circulate any leaked multimedia from the sets of KING. - Siddharth Anand"

Mumbai, May 1

Bollywood stars Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are currently busy shooting for their film 'King' in South Africa.

Since Thursday evening, several leaked visuals from the set have surfaced online, showing Shah Rukh and Deepika holding each other's hands.

The leaked visuals hinted that the team may be filming a song sequence in South Africa.

Director Siddharth Anand took to his X and shared a note requesting netizens not to share the film's leaked photos.

"REQUEST TO ALL THE FANS. Please do not post or circulate any leaked multimedia from the sets of KING. The team is working round the clock to ensure the best cinematic experience for everyone. Let us wait for the surprise on the big screen and for the assets to be revealed as the team of King originally intends to. Thank you for your love, support and cooperation. Shah Rukh Khan in & as KING," the post read.

'King' will release in theatres on December 24, 2026, making it a major Christmas release.

The makers recently unveiled fresh visuals from 'King', showing Shah Rukh Khan in a bold and intense avatar, hinting at a high-action narrative. The film also features Abhishek Bachchan, Saurabh Shukla and Suhana Khan in key roles.

As a Western fan of Bollywood, I find this fascinating. In Hollywood, set leaks are often seen as free promotion, but here it's treated like a breach of trust. I respect the Indian film industry's desire to control the narrative—keeps the experience special.

Exactly! People need to chill. SRK and Deepika together is already massive news—why spoil the surprise? But let's be real, some fans just can't control themselves. Siddharth Anand ka request is very polite. I hope people listen. 🙏🔥

While I love the excitement, I think the director's request is fair. These leaks might hurt the film's marketing strategy. But also, isn't it a sign of how crazy the fandom is? People in India can't wait to see King—it's going to be epic for Christmas 2026! 🎄

I get the appeal, but sometimes the industry overreacts. A few leaked pics from a song sequence? That's not going to ruin the entire film's surprise. Relax, let fans enjoy the little glimpses. But yes, respect the creator's wish—both sides have a point. Abhishek Bachchan and Suhana Khan in the cast got me hyped though! 🔥

Respectful criticism: This feels like a classic case of Bollywood wanting to control everything. Leaks happen everywhere—just roll with it. That said, SRK in a high-action avatar for King sounds dope. Let's see if it matches Pathaan's energy! 💪
