The 33-year-old Atlee Kumar is among Tamil mainstream cinema’s most in-demand directors, having made blockbusters such as Theri and Mersal. His new film Bigil is set to release later this month.
Shah Rukh Khan’s film with Atlee won’t be a remake of any south Indian hit but an original script, a source revealed. Reportedly, Atlee wrote the script a while back and the film, an action drama, is meant to be an all-out commercial entertainer to be produced by SRK’s production house, Red Chillies Entertainment.
A website quotes as saying that Atlee could be paid Rs 30 crore if the film happens.
However, no official announcement has come from either party yet, and fans have kept Twitter abuzz asking for a confirmation. Since Atlee’s films such as “Theri“, “Mersal” and “Bigil” star Tamil superstar Vijay, many fans have said they want SRK and Vijay together in one movie.
On Tuesday afternoon, a fan tweeted: “SRK Fans And Vijay Fans becomes Friends Now… Party Starts… We will celebrate SRK movies from now… Kollywood Samrat Thalapathy fans love Bollywood Samrat SRK.”
