Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan has been roped in for Imtiaz ali’s
next film which is a comedy-drama taking place across London and Punjab.
Earlier, rumors were abuzz that Ali was going to cast Aamir
Khan for the same role, but now things have been confirmed that it is going to
be Shah Rukh Khan.
The yet untitled film will follow the adventures of a Sikh
tourist, to be played by Shah Rukh, travelling across the India and UK. Ali
revealed that Shah Rukh will play a simpleton and will be seen interacting with
a number of British citizens so as to ensure his return to his motherland,
India. For this role, Shah Rukh will be seen wearing the typical Sikh attire of
a turban and will sport a beard as well.
The movie is said to go on floors as soon as Khan wraps up
the shoot of Gauri Shinde’s film with Alia Bhatt. However unlike Ali’s previous
ventures, this film with Shah Rukh will not be a romantic film. Travel will
play an important part of the story. The lead female actor is yet to be
finalized.
Last year, when rumors of their collaboration had reached a
crescendo, the star had reportedly said, "We are friends, and sometimes we
just want to know what we are thinking, not with me in these projects
necessarily. So, Imtiaz and I have done this exercise many times. We both feel
that one day we will come together for a film, and if that happens, it will be
very nice. I would love to work with Imtiaz. “
