SRK to start shooting for Salute next month

Unwilling to mull over the debacle of Zero, Shah Rukh Khan has decided to dive headlong into the shoot of his next, Salute. Former Indian Air Force pilot Rakesh Sharma's biopic was to kick off in May this year, however, Siddharth Roy Kapur's offering will now roll in Mumbai's Film City, in February.

Even as trade insiders suggest Khan's decision to advance filming stems from his desire to shift attention away from the failure of his last offering, sources close to the production argue that the decision was taken after a discussion with producer Kapur.

Pointing out that a couple of space films in B-town were put at the backburner, owing to the expenses incurred in tackling the genre, the source reveals, "The project is expensive. In a bid to ensure that the film doesn't exceed the budget, Kapoor and Khan find it imperative to start shooting by February. Doing so will help them wrap up the main schedule before summer. Given that certain crucial scenes must be filmed outdoors, the duo felt shooting in the bulky costumes would be impossible during those months."

The unit hopes to wrap up another leg, set to take place at an undisclosed outdoor location, by June, adds the source. Khan, on his part, will begin prepping for his role in the Mahesh Mathai directed venture soon. "Construction work for the creation of a huge set has already commenced at Film City."

Yes. Yes. Yes. Come on, Shah! He's gonna be back in business in no time. In a career long as his there will always be lull at times.

They should officially announce it asap. Is Bhoomi confirmed as the lead actress?

I have almost given up on Shah :(

I thought the money ran out 😆😆

Wow thats the spirit! Have a feeling this will bail him out.

I hope this works for him

all the best bhai. hope it comes this year !

Another flop coming in but it will have nationalistic theme attached to it so it might work for him but why can't someone like Tabu or Aish be casted opposite him? Why does it always have to be someone half his age?
