Deepika Padukone<\/a>, who recently announced her second pregnancy, is not wasting any time resting. The actor, who has two projects in hand, is currently filming the Shah Rukh Khan<\/a>-starrer King. On Friday, leaked pictures from the South African schedule of the film show Deepika and SRK hand in hand, seemingly filming a song sequence. And fans had only nice things to say once the pictures dropped.<\/p>\n

The undated pictures dropped on Friday morning after an X user (formerly Twitter) shared them, saying they were from the ongoing Cape Town schedule of Siddharth Anand\u2019s King. The pictures show Deepika, dressed in a floral-print gown, walking on the set. Shah Rukh, styled in an unbuttoned printed shirt with salt-and-pepper hair, takes her by the hand as they walk. Around them, other crew members are visible.<\/p>\n

The pictures were soon shared by fan clubs and film buffs on Instagram, Reddit and other platforms. On Reddit, fans praised the two actors\u2019 chemistry and looks. One commented, \u201cWhy the hell is it looking like a Renaissance painting?\u201d Another added, \u201cGreat styling for both.\u201d Deepika earned praise for her presence in the picture. \u201cMy eyes always land on Deepika even if she’s not in focus in the pic, even when I haven’t read the caption to expect her in the pic. She’s something else, man, look at her,\u201d gushed one fan.<\/p>\n

There was praise for Shah Rukh as well. The 60-year-old is back in a fierce action avatar in the film, and fans feel he looks better than ever. \u201cSRK looking incredible for 60. He doesn\u2019t need all the CGI they end up using in the final product. Hopefully they tone that s**t down, but since this is obviously a flashback, I\u2019m guessing they won\u2019t,\u201d argued one fan. Another wrote, \u201cSRK looks amazing, better than Jawaan and Pathaan looks.\u201d<\/p>\n

Deepika Padukone\u2019s second pregnancy<\/p>\n

Last Sunday, Deepika and Ranveer Singh<\/a> shared an Instagram post featuring their daughter, Dua, holding a positive pregnancy test. This adorable announcement signalled they were ready to become parents again. The post saw an outpouring of love and congratulatory messages for the Bollywood couple.<\/p>\n

An insider revealed to HT that Deepika intended to film King and Raaka, her other film, throughout her pregnancy. \u201cDuring her pregnancy, Deepika Padukone is shooting intense action sequences for Raaka. She will continue to shoot for the film throughout her pregnancy,\u201d the source said. Needless to say, Deepika and the makers have taken all precautions while filming.<\/p>\n
