Last seen in Zero (2018), superstar Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up to take the silver screen by storm with his upcoming line-up of films. His next release is Pathaan, produced by Aditya Chopra under Yash Raj Films. The Siddharth Anand directorial also features Deepika Padukone and Shah Rukh Khan in lead roles. The film is scheduled to arrive on January 25, 2023.
Besides this action thriller, SRK has also signed on to headline hit filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani’s next. He is also doing a film with South director Atlee Kumar. Billed to be an out-and-out masala film, the untitled project also features Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra, and Sunil Grover in important roles.
Now, a source in the know informs a publication that Khan will wrap up filming for all his three projects in 2022 only.
“Shah Rukh Khan would head to Spain to complete a 17-day schedule of Pathaan. With this schedule, the shoot of the Siddharth Anand-directed film would be wrapped up before the end of this month,” divulges the source.
The source goes on to add, “In April, Shah Rukh Khan would commence shooting for Rajkumar Hirani’s film in Mumbai’s Film City. It’ll be a 40-day schedule. Then, Rajkumar Hirani would take a break from filming. He’ll sit on the edit and have a look at the footage that he has shot so far. This is how he works on all his films.”
The source further says, “In this break, Shah Rukh Khan would resume shooting for Atlee’s film. The shoot is expected to take place mainly in Mumbai and Pune. After this schedule, SRK would head to either London or the USA for a 25-day schedule of Rajkumar Hirani’s movie.”
“After this schedule, Shah Rukh Khan would once again shoot for Atlee’s film. He’ll then head overseas one more time for the final schedule of Rajkumar Hirani’s next after which the film’s shoot will be completed. Shah Rukh will return to India and work on the final schedule of Atlee’s next. As a result, if all goes well, Shah Rukh Khan would complete all 3 films – Pathaan, Atlee’s next, and Rajkumar Hirani’s next – in 2022,” concludes the source.
