Deepika Padukone Shot ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’ Five Months Pregnant
Deepika Padukone reportedly shot King's first song, 'Tu Mil Jaaye,' in Cape Town while five months pregnant. It arrives ahead of a December 24 release.
The first song from KING is here, and it comes with a story that has fans looking at the music video twice. Deepika Padukone was reportedly five months pregnant when she filmed her portions of “Tu Mil Jaaye” with Shah Rukh Khan in Cape Town.
The reunion, with a reveal
Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are one of the most successful on-screen pairs in modern Bollywood. “Tu Mil Jaaye” puts them back in the spotlight together, blending romantic sequences with action moments and dramatic dialogues that tease the larger world of KING.
The filming detail changes how audiences see the song. After Deepika and Ranveer Singh announced their pregnancy, a few leaked visuals from the shoot started circulating. Now that the official music video is out, fans can finally see the finished visuals and the outfits from that Cape Town schedule, filmed before the couple welcomed their daughter, Devi.
Who made ‘Tu Mil Jaaye’
The track is built like an event.
- Vocals: Arijit Singh, with Madhubanti Bagchi also contributing
- English rap: Ed Sheeran, who also wrote his segment
- Music: Sachin-Jigar
- Lyrics: Kumaar
- Choreography: Piyush-Shazia
The Ed Sheeran feature gives the song a crossover hook, which matters as Indian film music continues to chase global playlists. The video is streaming on Zee Music Company and T-Series YouTube channels.
The film behind the song
KING is directed by Siddharth Anand, who re-teams with Shah Rukh Khan after the blockbuster Pathaan. It is produced by Gauri Khan, Mamta Anand and Siddharth Anand under Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures.
The cast is a mix of veterans and newer names. Shah Rukh Khan leads, while Suhana Khan makes her theatrical debut in a lead role. The ensemble includes Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Anil Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, Raghav Juyal and Abhay Verma.
The film is set to arrive in cinemas worldwide on December 24, 2026, making it one of the biggest late-year releases for Bollywood fans.
Why the timeline matters
The fact that Deepika filmed an elaborate song while five months pregnant is a talking point because Bollywood schedules are demanding. It reframes what dedication on a large commercial film can look like, and why the team kept the shoot under wraps until the song arrived. Fans can watch the video now, and more KING material is likely as the December date draws closer.
