The makers of Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film King have reportedly tightened security on the movie’s sets after multiple leaks and a viral AI-generated clip created massive buzz online. The increased precautions come as excitement around the highly anticipated action film continues growing across social media platforms.
According to reports, the production team became concerned after behind-the-scenes visuals, leaked photos, and digitally manipulated AI videos connected to the film started spreading rapidly online. Several clips falsely claiming to show major scenes from King reportedly gained millions of views before fans realised some content had been artificially created.
The viral AI-generated footage especially created confusion among audiences, with many viewers initially believing it featured actual scenes involving Shah Rukh Khan and other cast members. The incident reportedly pushed the makers to strengthen on-set rules and restrict unauthorised recordings during shoots.
Industry sources claim security personnel on the sets have now increased significantly, and stricter monitoring measures are being implemented to prevent leaks. Crew members and visitors reportedly face tighter access restrictions while mobile phone usage around important shooting areas has also been limited.
Directed by Siddharth Anand, King already remains one of Bollywood’s most awaited projects. The film reportedly features Shah Rukh Khan in an intense action-packed role alongside a star-studded cast including Deepika Padukone and Abhishek Bachchan.
The movie has consistently generated headlines because of leaked visuals from international shoots and rumours surrounding Abhishek Bachchan’s reported antagonist role. Earlier this month, fake “leaked first look” images linked to the film also went viral before fact-check reports debunked them.
Fans online reacted strongly after news about tightened security surfaced. Many users supported the decision and argued that constant leaks reduce the surprise and cinematic experience intended for audiences. Others discussed the growing challenge AI-generated content creates for filmmakers and celebrities.
The incident has also reignited broader conversations about digital manipulation and fake promotional content in the entertainment industry. With AI-generated visuals becoming increasingly realistic, several fans admitted it is becoming harder to separate authentic movie leaks from fabricated online content.
Meanwhile, excitement around King continues increasing despite the security concerns. Social media users remain eager for official teasers, posters, and confirmed updates from the makers rather than leaked or manipulated visuals.
As anticipation builds around Shah Rukh Khan’s next major action film, the makers appear determined to protect the project’s secrecy and maintain tighter control over information coming from the sets.
