During a conversation with Pinkvilla, Mani Ratnam opened up the possibility of reuniting with Shah Rukh Khan. The filmmaker said, “You should ask Shah Rukh. I should have a script ready for him, that’s when I can go to him. So it’s all a function of a script. We just met each other at a function, that’s all.
