With the self-imposed break behind him, it’s work all the way for Shah Rukh Khan. The actor, who is currently giving shape to Siddharth Anand’s 'Pathan', has given his nod to another project. If all goes as per plan, the superstar will begin shooting for Tamil filmmaker Atlee’s action thriller from December. The project will mark the Bigil (2019) director’s Bollywood debut.  

The actor, who has been in advanced talks with filmmakers Raj-DK and Rajkumar Hirani, was simultaneously approached by Atlee in 2019. The duo apparently spent the last two years brainstorming on the plot outline that Atlee had pitched. A trade source reveals, “When Atlee first approached the superstar, he had the plot and a few powerful sequences in mind. Now, the complete script is ready. In March, he flew down to Mumbai to give the final narration to Shah Rukh at Mannat. The actor loved it so much that he immediately agreed. The stylised action drama will be jointly backed by Shah Rukh and good friend Karan Johar. For now, the movie is remains untitled.”
