Shah Rukh Khan and Amar Kaushik to unite for a film!

Shah Rukh Khan ruled the box office in 2023 when his three blockbusters, Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, combined to earn over Rs 2500 crore worldwide. Ever since, there has been a lot of excitement about SRK's upcoming feature projects. The King Khan is rumored to have narrowed down and sealed down two action-packed spectacles for the big screen: the YRF Spy Universe flick Pathaan 2, which stars Siddharth Anand, and the King, which is helmed by Sujoy Ghosh. And now, before he begins filming King, Shah Rukh Khan hopes to have a three-film slate in place, as we have exclusively learned.

 

Sources close to the situation said that Shah Rukh Khan is reviewing a number of scripts and hoping to land another feature film, ideally one that is not an action movie. According to reports, SRK and Amar Kaushik are in negotiations to work on a high-profile adventure movie. “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,” disclosed a source close to the development.

 

The source further revealed, “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 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.”

 

Aditya Chopra intends to launch Pathaan 2 by the end of 2025 or the beginning of 2026, whereas KING is slated to begin production in January 2025 and conclude by the middle of the same year. “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 ends the chat.
