Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar has already shot her portion of the film Bombay Talkies, which celebrates 100 years of Hindi cinema with four short films from four Hindi film directors. Zoya worked with Katrina Kaif in her 20-minute feature. Anurag Kashyap is currently filming his section with Amitabh Bachchan. And Dibakar Banerjee has apparently signed on Nawazuddin Siddiqui. But the producers of Bombay Talkies are still uncertain about Karan Johar's film and whether Shah Rukh Khan will be part of it or not.

Karan JoharProducer Viacom 18 claims that Shah Rukh is the central character of the Karan Johar film that showcases how romance in Hindi cinema has changed over the years. But Karan says the actor is not yet part of his short movie.

"I am currently in the pre-production stage and haven't cast anyone. I just locked the screenplay a few days ago, and plan to start the shoot by the end of January," says Karan. However, the director, who is known for his three hour-long sagas, is finding it difficult to narrate the story in 20 minutes, the time each filmmaker has been allotted. "For me, it's a challenging format. We have 20 minutes to tell a story, which is coherent and connected to the other plots. This can be a challenge for any filmmaker," says Karan.

Bombay Talkies releases on May 3, a day that marks the film industry's centenary. "I am excited by this short film. It's something I have never done before," says Kara

OMG THANK YOU SO MUCH.

I think Katrina reads my mind when ever I want something about katrina then it happens. I was thinking about this short film and wanted to know when it releases etc. and here is the announcement yay :D

Filmmaker Zoya Akhtar has already shot her portion of the film Bombay Talkies, which celebrates 100 years of Hindi cinema with four short films from four Hindi film directors. Zoya worked with Katrina Kaif in her 20-minute feature.



So Katrina has kind of 2 releases next year. Can't wait for this short story of zoya's featuring katrina ;D So it won't feature ranbir?

Only Katrina

So happy I will at least get 1,5 katrina movies next year :D

yes actually i was happy that ranbir was not a part of it which mean that the short film that katrina is a part of will be a women oriented role
zoya love realistic / slice of life kind of story 👏

I would like to see SRK rather working with Anurag than KJo in this one.
I'm sure the KJo story will be the weakest here.
But I think SRK is doing it. He mentioned recently that is shooting two projects after Chennai Express this year. Must be it.

I too hope SRK works with anybody else and not KJo but I highly doubt those chances
