Shah Rukh Khan In Talks With 'Stree 2' Director For Big Adventure Film: Report
As per a report in Pinkvilla, Shah Rukh Khan is in talks with 'Stree 2' director Amar Kaushik for a big adventure film.
Shah Rukh Khan is arguably one of the greatest superstars the country has ever produced. Ever since delivering three box office hits in 2023 in the form of 'Pathaan', 'Jawan' and 'Dunki', fans have been desperately waiting for the superstar to announce his further lineup of films. In the latest entertainment news, as per a report in Pinkvilla, SRK is aiming to have a 3-film line-up in place before he starts shooting for Sujoy Ghosh's 'King'.
“Shah Rukh Khan has met almost every filmmaker in the last few months, and heard the ideas they had for him. But nothing really excited him. Now, Shah Rukh Khan is in talks with the Stree 2 team of Amar Kaushik and Dinesh Vijan," Pinkvilla quoted a source as saying.
"Amar and Dinoo have a big-ticket adventure film for SRK, and are exploring the possibilities of a collaboration. It would not be a part of the Stree Universe, but mark the beginning of a new one. Two to three meetings have taken place, and Shah Rukh Khan is yet to take-a-decision on the same. More discussions are expected to take place in the months to come by, before he takes a call on doing or not doing the film," the source added.
Speaking further, the source said, "The Maddock Film aside, SRK is also continuously in touch with Raj and DK for their comic action thriller, as he has connected to the subject and wants to do a film with them, subject to a little rework on the loopholes. Apart from the adventure film and the comic action thriller, he is in talks with some makers from the South for action films, but there’s nothing locked.”
For the unversed, 'King' is scheduled to go on floors from January 2025 while Aditya Chopra is aiming to take 'Pathaan 2' on floors by the end of 2025 or early 2026.
“While the shoot schedules of King and Pathaan 2 are locked and on paper, SRK is exploring if he can work on a new-age commercial film in between the two action-packed entertainers. He is expected to take a call on Amar Kaushik, Raj & DK, or something else by the end of this year,” the source said.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani's 'Dunki', alongside Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, Boman Irani, Anil Grover and Vikram Kochhar.
He will next be seen in Sujoy Ghosh's 'King', alongside daughter Suhana Khan. The film reportedly also stars Abhishek Bachchan and Abhay Verma.
