Shahrukh Khan had taken some time off from the movies after the release of Zero in 2018. Reports that agreed to three movies, starting from ‘Pathan‘, Rajkumar Hirani‘s social comedy, and a commercial potboiler with Atlee.
Atlee‘s directorial will see Shahrukh Khan playing a double role. Atlee is currently developing the script with Karan Johar‘s writers and SRK will be co-producing the film.
A source revealed “Atlee and Shahrukh Khan have been discussing a potential collaboration for two years now and have brainstormed on multiple subjects. They have finally fixed on an action film with SRK playing an investigation officer of a top Indian agency and a most wanted criminal. The story revolves around these two characters who are a world apart, their conflict, and confrontation.”
“Three of Atlee’s four directorials, Theri, Mersal and Bigil, feature the protagonist in double or triple roles. He loves exploring the different aspects of an actor’s persona within the same film. He is looking to continue the trend with two diametrically different characters in this film as well.” continued the source.
The actor will also be seen playing a cameo in Ayan Mukherji‘s Brahmastra.
We cannot wait to see SRK back on the big screen after two years.
