Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has drawn massive crowds as he commenced shooting the next schedule of his highly anticipated film, 'King', in Cape Town, South Africa. The actor began working on what is believed to be the film's climax scene earlier this week. With just one day of filming completed, videos from the sets have already surfaced online, creating a buzz among fans.
Fresh visuals from the shoot not only captured SRK sporting a striking new look but also showed him in a car, ready to zoom off while a song played in the background. The leaked video has sparked speculation that the song blasting on the speakers could be a track by global pop star Ed Sheeran, who is rumored to be contributing to the film's soundtrack.
Was Ed Sheeran's Song Playing on 'King' Sets?
The leaked video has fueled speculation that the song heard in the background might be Ed Sheeran's rumored track for the film. This speculation is not entirely unfounded, as industry chatter in recent weeks has suggested that Sheeran may contribute to the film's soundtrack, although nothing has been officially confirmed. Reports indicate that Sheeran has recorded a song for the SRK starrer, but it remains to be seen how the track will be incorporated into the film.
About Ed Sheeran's Song
The track that leaked online features both a rap piece and a singing verse, further adding to the speculation that it could be a Sheeran number, given that the singer is famous for blending both music genres. In the clip, SRK was seen wearing a bright orange shirt, which led fans to link the color choice to his song 'Besharam Rang' from the film 'Pathaan'.
Deepika Padukone Joins SRK on Film Sets
Joining Khan on the sets was his co-star, Deepika Padukone. The pregnant actress was spotted by fans making an appearance on the film sets. The duo walked hand-in-hand to the sets and prepared to shoot their scenes together.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, 'King' is shaping up to be one of the biggest releases of 2026. The film is slated for a Christmas 2026 release.
