Following a successful year at the box office, there is mounting anticipation surrounding Shah Rukh Khan’s next venture. Reports suggest that the actor is currently in discussions with filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj for their upcoming project.
According to the source, “There is inside chatter in the industry that Shah Rukh Khan is signing a Vishal Bhardwaj film for his next. The plan is in sync with his desire to keep surprising the audiences with his film choices.”
As per reports, the upcoming collaboration is said to embody the signature essence of a ‘Vishal Bhardwaj film, replete with the enthralling elements and intricate nuances characteristic of his storytelling.’
The source further added, “Yes, Bhardwaj’s world of cinema is very different from the cinematic world and image of Shah Rukh. But the actor is ready to take it up as it offers something new to him. He has really liked the script, with the two being in discussion mode for the same at the moment. Shah Rukh has made all such unconventional choices all through his career. He has also worked with Amol Palekar in Paheli in the past, so it will be interesting to see what he would bring to Bhardwaj’s world. However, the industry is waiting for confirmation from either of them soon.”
Despite reaching out to both Shah Rukh’s and Bhardwaj’s teams for a response regarding the latest news, there was no response received by the time. On the professional front, in 2023, Shah Rukh Khan graced the silver screen with Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, with all three films receiving a warm reception from audiences and performing well at the box office. Rumors suggest that he is on the brink of announcing his next set of three films in 2024.
