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.
Fact check: Was the video real or AI?
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.

As the video gained traction, several social media users began questioning its authenticity. Many pointed out the unnatural transitions, visual inconsistencies, and overly polished appearance that hinted at AI involvement. Soon after, it became clear that no official footage, song, or teaser from King had been released by the makers, confirming that the clip was purely fictional.
The viral edit once again highlights how advanced AI technology has become, making it increasingly difficult for viewers to distinguish between real and fabricated content. While some fans praised the creativity behind the video, others expressed concern over how easily such edits can be mistaken for official material and spread misinformation.
Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone reunite
Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone’s pairing continues to generate immense excitement, thanks to their iconic collaborations in films like Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, and Pathaan. Their reunion in King is already one of the most anticipated aspects of the film, which perhaps explains why even a fake clip managed to attract so much attention.
The makers of King have not issued any statement regarding the viral video, maintaining silence as anticipation around the film continues to build. Until official visuals or music are released, fans are advised to treat such viral content with caution.
While the AI-generated clip may not be real, it serves as proof of the audience’s eagerness to see Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone together again on the big screen, a reunion that continues to spark excitement, even through unofficial fan creations.
