Well, only Siddharth knows what he is hinting at with this post. But fans are sure that it is about DP’s casting.
Meanwhile, Siddharth and Deepika have worked together in two movies earlier – Pathaan and Fighter. But it looks like we won’t get to see them reunite for King. The SRK and Suhana starrer also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Abhay Verma. The shooting is expected to go on floors in the second half of 2025.
