The Internet is abuzz after the latest video footage from their shoot went viral. The clip shows both actors shooting a romantic scene from the movie. Romantic Spectacle or Safe Formula? The video captures the two approaching each other on the sands and ending with Shah Rukh Khan’s trademark pose, arms outstretched. While Deepika is dressed in a flowing white dress, the other sports a more casual look in a striped shirt. Fan reactions ranged from ‘Always seated for a romantic SRK song + SRKDP looking fab’ to ‘They really know how to cook up chemistry.’ Another user wrote, “Everybody please shut up; this is so personal to me. They are so special to me.” The emotional investment remains intact, even predictable. However, the similarities with Pathaan are too tempting to overlook. A Reddit user pointed out that ‘another Pathaan is coming’ by referring to the beach song called Besharam Rang. The visual resemblance indicates that the film might just be repeating an already established formula. Star Power Still Drives the Narrative King, directed by Siddharth Anand, is the sixth collaboration between Shah Rukh and Deepika, after films such as Om Shanti Om and Chennai Express. However, the pairing continues to remain an attraction despite the trend in Bollywood shifting to stories with substance. The movie also offers Suhana Khan her stage debut after The Archies, while featuring an enormous cast including Abhishek Bachchan and Jaideep Ahlawat. According to Shah Rukh Khan, his character is very flawed and violent. Key Takeaways King’s early shots suggest that the film is looking for a middle ground between conventionality and ambition, with romance as its popularity factor.
