Shah Rukh Khan and Farah Khan's association is turning out to be more than mutually beneficial. Even before Om Shanti Om hits the editing room, SRK has agreed to do a sci-fi film with Farah's husband Shirish Kunder, and in all likelihood it's a superhero film. Which means that SRK is soon to become a superhero.

Sources indicate that the trend of desi-superhero worshipping is here to stay. After the likes of Krrish (Krrish now gears up to fight the demons within in the next instalment) and Drona (this superhero is yet to make an appearance), Shah Rukh and Shirish might just have something better to offer. And we are not complaining.

The buzz is that these leading actors — Hrithik Roshan, Abhishek Bachchan and now Shah Rukh — are having a fist fight over producing the best Bollywood superhero. While the Bachchans are working hard at making Drona one of its kind, SRK has also joined the bandwagon with this ambitious project.

While the makers continue to be tight-lipped, our sources tell us that extensive research is in progress. Shirish and his team are busy trying to create 'a gentleman extraordinaire' who not only rescues women in distress but also plays a pivotal role in environmental issues as important as global warming, says our source.

Shah Rukh, who has been trying to up the quality of special effects at his VFX studio, will be shouldering the responsibility of special effects in this film. He has been working at making his studio truly FX-savvy. In an earlier interview, the actor had highly spoken about the special effects used in the film 300, which is based on Frank Miller's graphic novel about the Battle of Thermopylae (in 480 B.C.) and his plans of taking optical illusions further.

Says our source, "Of late Shah Rukh has been talking about an extremely creative film. After much brainstorming he is working in tandem with Shrish for this film. But the film will hit the floors only next year." Farah Khan was unavailable for comment.
