A new day on the South African sets of 'King' has brought fresh photos leaking online, much to the delight of fans. This time, Shah Rukh Khan was spotted in character, filming scenes alone, and the images have gone viral.
Shah Rukh Khan Spotted in Character
Layered up in a button-down shirt and a jacket, Shah Rukh was seen by fans walking around the sets with his team and bodyguard. Upon noticing fans filming the star, his bodyguard quickly lowered a large umbrella to hide the superstar's look. A viral video shows SRK walking up to a stall on the sets to check it out before moving on to sit on nearby rocks, waiting for his shot.
Shah Rukh Khan Sans Co-Star Deepika Padukone
The film's crew was spotted at another scenic beach location in Cape Town after SRK and co-star Deepika Padukone spent the previous evening shooting a romantic dance scene on a beach amid a breathtaking sunset. The co-stars were seen filming an intimate dance sequence while fans gathered around the sets and watched them film.
Shah Rukh Khan Shoots Solo Scenes
Besides shooting romantic song sequences with Deepika, Shah Rukh has been spotted out and about the busy streets of Cape Town, filming solo scenes and other shots in a car. News reports previously stated that SRK and Deepika would be shooting an intense climax scene; however, since their arrival on the sets last week, the cast has been filming what appears to be a song and dance segment. Rumors are rife that the song in question will be a rumored Ed Sheeran track. Leaked videos from the sets even gave fans a tease of the peppy number.
