Aanand L. Rai confirms Shah Rukh Khan for his next

By Bollywood Hungama News Network, Mar 21, 2016 - 17:06 hrs IST

There have been several speculations about filmmaker Aanand L. Rai's next. In fact, the director-producer had to announce that he hasn't found the right cast as yet. However, now it seems that his film on a dwarf seems to be on the right track as the director has roped in superstar Shah Rukh Khan for the same.

A recent meeting of Shah Rukh Khan and Aanand L. Rai at the airport in Mumbai sparked rumours about a film in the offing. Though neither of them denied or confirmed about any such venture, it is now that Rai decided to speak about it. The director recently mentioned that he finds Shah Rukh Khan a gutsy actor and since the two wanted to work together since a while, they are now in the process of finalizing the details of the film. Talking about his next starring King Khan, Aanand added that the film is definitely about a dwarf but that is not the only part about it. He also mentioned that the film will have romance and songs and will revolve around an interesting and entertaining love story.

Besides this, Aanand L. Rai is also working on other films like Nil Battey Sannata, Happy Bhaag Jayegi and Manmarziyaan. On the other hand, Shah Rukh Khan will be seen in Fan, Raees and Gauri Shinde's next.

Anand L Rai has not worked with any Bollywood biggies in past, but now when he has superstar Shah Rukh Khan on board for his next project, the filmmaker is thrilled and all geared up for it.

The 44-year-old director, who is riding high on the success of his two consecutive films- Raanjhanaa and Tanu Weds Manu: Returns, was all praise for SRK.

"He is a gutsy actor. He always takes challenges. It is a delight to have him in the film. We both have liking for each other. We want to work together and we are on that process.
"Shah Rukh is a very intelligent man. He makes you feel so important and responsible so it is fun to work with him.

He was very happy to hear the story," Rai said.

The 50-year-old Dilwale star will be seen essaying the role of a dwarf in the interesting love story and the director is planning to serve a decent dose of songs in the film.

"It (story) sounds it is just about dwarf but it is much more than that. It is a much taller film. It is a very entertaining and interesting love story. I will be fool if I have Shah Rukh Khan in my film and have no romance and songs," he said.

The filmmaker is yet to finalise the lead actress for the movie.

Apart from direction, Rai is excited about his upcoming projects as a producer.

"We have Nil Battey Sannata with Swara Bhaskar, Happy Bhaag Jayegi starring Abhay Deol and Diana Penty and Manmarziyan with Ayushmann Khurrana and Bhumi Pednekar.

All three are interesting films and I am excited about it. This is the kind of cinema I want to be involved with as a producer. I am enjoying the process," he added.
