King Khan has been the protagonist in most of Khan's directorials, all of which have done extremely well at the box office. As DNA reports, a source revealed, "Farah's currently sitting with her scriptwriters on another story which will star Shah Rukh. All their films together have been blockbuster hits and Farah is known to do big budget, larger-than-life extravaganzas."

"The one with SRK will be a typical Farah Khan film with lavish songs and grand locales. It's a rom-com, which is their forte. People are assuming it's a sequel to Main Hoon Naa' (2004), but it's a different story," they went on to add.
