Deepika Padukone continues to balance motherhood and work with remarkable dedication. After shooting for Kalki 2898 AD during her first pregnancy, the actress is once again making headlines for reportedly continuing work on her upcoming films, King and Raaka, while expecting her second child. Here’s what the latest reports say.
Deepika Padukone reportedly filming action scenes during third trimester
According to a report by Variety India, Deepika Padukone has been actively filming Atlee’s upcoming sci-fi action entertainer Raaka despite being in her third trimester. The report claims the actress has been working night schedules and shooting physically demanding action sequences to complete her portions before beginning her maternity break.
A source quoted by the publication said, “It is inspiring for everyone on the sets to see Deepika perform like this. Not to forget, she has a one-and-a-half-year-old daughter at home, who she also gives her unwavering attention.”
The report further states that although Deepika has previously spoken about the importance of maintaining a structured eight-hour workday, she has reportedly extended her schedule to ensure the film’s production remains on track. She is said to be filming almost every day, including several high-intensity action scenes that are considered crucial to the project.
The insider also claimed that some of the stunt sequences are particularly demanding, but Deepika has continued to perform them while fulfilling her professional commitments.
Earlier, reports had suggested that after Deepika and Ranveer Singh announced they were expecting their second child, her role in Raaka had been shortened. However, the film’s team later dismissed those rumours, stating that the production was progressing as planned and that Deepika continues to play a significant role in the film.

Directed by Atlee, Raaka is one of the most anticipated pan-India films slated for release in 2027. The ambitious sci-fi fantasy marks the first-ever on-screen collaboration between Deepika Padukone and Allu Arjun, making it one of the year’s biggest upcoming releases.
