Deepika Padukone-SRK shoot begins for King: Ranveer Singh Spotted With Baby Dua on King’s Cape Town Set

Fans spotted Ranveer Singh cradling baby Dua on the sets of King in Cape Town as Deepika Padukone filmed a romantic song with Shah Rukh Khan.

There is something about a leaked Bollywood set video that takes the internet by storm — and the latest one from Cape Town is no different.

Eagle-eyed viewers spotted none other than Ranveer Singh standing quietly in the background — with baby Dua in his arms.

King Cape Town Shoot: At a Glance

A Sunset, A Song, and a Surprise

The latest viral clip shows SRK dressed in an all-black outfit while Deepika Padukone looks stunning in a long pink and blue flowy dress, filming what appears to be an emotional dance sequence against a scenic beach backdrop. The setting was cinematic gold — crashing waves, golden light, and two of Bollywood’s biggest stars dancing on rocky shores.

But the real moment? A viral clip shows Ranveer Singh cradling baby Dua while watching from the sidelines as Deepika and SRK film a musical number. The internet, predictably, lost its mind.

Super Dad Steals the Show

A source close to the production revealed that Ranveer has been spending most of his time taking care of Dua while Deepika continues shooting for King, and is fully focused on supporting Deepika and being a hands-on father.

Fans flooded social media with appreciation. One user wrote, “Baby Dua is officially stealing the spotlight on the set!” — and honestly, it’s hard to argue.

Deepika Padukone, who is currently expecting her second child, was seen in a flowing white dress during the shoot. The fact that she is continuing to deliver high-intensity work while pregnant has only added to the admiration pouring in from her fanbase.
