Shah Rukh Khan to begin shooting for Atlee's film next week

Shah Rukh Khan may have taken a vacation from work due to family obligations, but he's back on track and ready to finish his pending projects. The actor will use these days to shoot for his domestic production directed by Atlee, while the sets of Raju Hirani's SRK project are being prepared in Film City. This will begin in earnest in South Mumbai next week.

The actor will also travel to Spain to finish the filming of Pathan, which was put on hold after the Aryan Khan case surfaced. When the Zero actor returns from Spain, he will resume filming for director Atlee's flick.

On September 21, last year, SRK's project with Atlee began shooting, with Nayanthara as his co-star. The shooting began in Pune, with the film's schedule taking place in between the Pathan shoots. Following their initial meeting during IPL, Atlee and Shah Rukh decided to collaborate. Because SRK has always stated that he does not want to work in a remake, a new script was produced specifically for him.

According to the latest Mid-Day report, after wrapping up the cameo shoot for Salman Khan's Tiger 3 and his comeback film Pathan, the superstar will soon begin shooting Atlee Kumar's tentatively titled Lion. It also mentioned that the director had originally planned to shoot in November, but due to an increase in COVID cases, the shoot was pushed back to January. They will now resume filming in mid-February.

Atlee's film, produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, is billed as an action-packed entertainer. According to reports, SRK will play a double role in the film, possibly that of a father and a son. Sanya Malhotra and Sunil Grover will also play important roles in the film.
