A video claiming to show a leaked romantic song featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone from the upcoming film King has gone viral on social media, sending fans into a frenzy. The short clip, widely shared across platforms, shows the much-loved on-screen pair in an intense romantic moment, complete with a close embrace and a soulful track playing in the background. However, the excitement surrounding the clip has now been tempered by the truth behind it.
Despite appearing convincing at first glance, the viral video is not an actual scene from King. It has been revealed to be a fan-made edit created using artificial intelligence tools. The clip stitches together manipulated visuals that resemble Shah Rukh Khan’s reported look for the film, paired with Deepika Padukone styled in glamorous outfits, giving the illusion of an official song sequence. The addition of romantic lyrics and dramatic visuals further fuelled speculation that a song from the film had been leaked online.
