Filmmaker Siddharth Anand has reacted strongly to leaked images of Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone from their upcoming film King.
Anand urged fans to stop circulating the visuals, stressing the need to preserve the film's theatrical surprise and overall cinematic experience.
The images, which show Khan and Padukone filming a visually rich sequence in South Africa, quickly spread across fan pages, sparking widespread buzz and speculation about the scene.
Deepika is seen in a flowy orange outfit, while Shah Rukh appears in a striped white-and-blue shirt paired with blue trousers. The actress's pregnancy glow also drew attention, with fans praising her on-screen presence during the shoot.
Anand reiterated that the team is working 'round the clock' to deliver a complete big-screen experience and urged audiences to avoid fragmented, out-of-context spoilers.
King is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures, and features an ensemble cast including Abhishek Bachchan, Anil Kapoor, Rani Mukerji, Arshad Warsi, Abhay Verma and Raghav Juyal.
The film is slated for a Christmas release on 24 December 2026.
