Pre-empting his favourite actress’ pregnancy, Shah Rukh Khan had finished Deepika Padukone’s intricate stunts in King long before her expectancy. Her work in the film is largely complete, give or take some patchwork.
Interestingly, in both her big-budget action projects—Raaka with Allu Arjun and King with Shah Rukh Khan—Deepika has an unusual volume of stunt sequences which she completed before heading towards her maternity leave.
Apparently, Deepika will be working through her pregnancy though not on any physically strenuous project, but on a human drama where she plays the author-backed role.
The maternity leave will start in the third trimester. And since after birthing, there will be two babies to take care of, Deepika’s husband Ranveer Singh will also be taking time off from his busy schedule.
