Exclusive! Here's the truth about Abhishek Bachchan's leaked photo from King
Viral images of Abhishek Bachchan from the sets of King have been deemed fake by an industry insider
On Thursday, after behind-the-scenes videos and pictures of Shah Rukh Khan shooting with leading lady Deepika Padukone went viral, fresh leaks from the sets of King have now taken over social media – this time featuring Abhishek Bachchan.
Now, a well placed industry source says "Abhishek Bachchan is currently travelling for ETPL and has been in Ireland for the same. The images of him from the sets of King that are circulating online are *completely fake.*
Several images of the actor supposedly from the film’s set have surfaced online, giving fans a glimpse of his new avatar and fuelling even more curiosity around his role in the much-awaited action entertainer.
The images were shared on several fan accounts on X, also known as Twitter. In one frame, Abhishek is seen standing atop a vehicle against a rugged mountainous backdrop.
In the said images the actor is seen dressed in a long grey overcoat layered over an all-black outfit while holding what appears to be a gun. Another shot seems to capture a high-octane car crash sequence mid-explosion.
Earlier, when Deepika and Shah Rukh were shooting in South Africa for King, several behind-the-scenes videos from the shoot surfaced on social media, quickly grabbing fans’ attention. One showed them in the middle of the scene, while one showed Shah Rukh offering his hand to help Deepika as she climbs a flight of stairs.
Abhishek was most recently seen in Raja Shivaji. Helmed by Riteish Deshmukh, the historical action film also stars Riteish in the lead role alongside Sanjay Dutt, Mahesh Manjrekar, Sachin Khedekar, Bhagyashree, Fardeen Khan, Jitendra Joshi, Amole Gupte, and Genelia Deshmukh in key roles. Based on the life of Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj, the founder of the Maratha Empire, the film was released in theatres on May 1.
