Bollywood’s King Khan is back in the headlines — this time for confirming what fans have been speculating for months. Shah Rukh Khan has officially teased that his upcoming film King will feature a romantic angle between his character and that of Deepika Padukone, marking yet another iconic pairing of one of Indian cinema’s most beloved on-screen couples.
Speaking at a recent brand event in Mumbai, SRK smiled and said,

(“There will definitely be love… I’m the King — how can there be no romance?”)
The quote instantly went viral, sparking a wave of excitement among fans. Within hours, #SRKxDeepika and #KingMovie began trending on X (formerly Twitter), with thousands of users sharing romantic fan edits, throwback scenes, and AI-generated posters celebrating the duo’s reunion.
❤️ A Reunion Fans Have Been Waiting For
After delivering unforgettable chemistry in films like Om Shanti Om (2007), Chennai Express (2013), and Pathaan (2023), SRK and Deepika are set to share the screen again in King — one of the most anticipated Bollywood projects of 2026.
The film, described as a high-octane action-drama with an emotional core, is being produced by Red Chillies Entertainment in collaboration with Siddharth Anand, the director behind Pathaan and Fighter.
Industry insiders hint that King will explore a complex father-daughter relationship intertwined with a romantic subplot, blending SRK’s signature charm with Anand’s slick action direction.
“It’s a Shah Rukh Khan film — and that means there’s always room for love, no matter how intense the action,” said a source close to the production team.
⚡ Social Media Frenzy
Within minutes of SRK’s statement, fan communities went into overdrive.
X (formerly Twitter), Instagram, and YouTube were flooded with fan edits pairing the Pathaan stars in dreamy slow-motion reels, set to romantic soundtracks.
Several fan pages even created trending hashtags like #KingSRKDeepika and #PyaarTohZaroorHoga, turning SRK’s quote into a viral meme moment.
“When SRK says there will be love, there will be love — that’s the rule of cinema,” wrote one fan on X, echoing the sentiment of millions.

The movie is expected to begin principal photography in early 2026, with international action sequences planned in Dubai, Spain, and London.
Sources say the plot centers around a former spy drawn back into a world of secrets and vengeance, with Deepika’s character playing a key emotional and moral anchor.
