A lot has been said about Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s next but nothing has been done yet. The actor, who was last seen in Zero, is yet to make an announcement, and fans are now tired of waiting. While reportedly the actor has signed a film with Raj & DK and Rajkumar Hirani, the exciting news is that South director Atlee Kumar still remains in the run.
Yes, you heard it right. The news of best of South and Bollywood in the form of the director-actor duo coming together for a collab got the fans berserk. However, soon rumours dried down and it was suspected that the film may have been scrapped. But not only is it in the works, but Karan Johar’s Dharma Productions has also joined hands too! Moreover, the expectations remain for the movie to recreate the Baahubali or 2.0 craze and work wonders for SRK.
A source close to Bollywood Hungama revealed it all as, “When Atlee met Shah Rukh Khan, he didn’t have a complete script in hand. He had the gist of the plot ready and he had written four powerful massy sequences. These were key scenes like Shah Rukh Khan’s entry, intermission point, climax etc. Shah Rukh, however, was in favour of a bound script before taking things forward. Hence, Atlee decided to get the screenplay in place first. Atlee is currently working with the creative writing team of Dharma Productions to develop the screenplay. Atlee, KJo and SRK want to ensure that the script has trademark stamp of the director and at the same time, has the pan-India appeal.”
