AB confirms SRK film

Jun 07, 2013 - Reena Kapoor

Ever since the success of Paa and Cheeni Kum, there have been talks of Amitabh Bachchan collaborating with director R. Balki for another film. The director, who was focusing on his wife Gauri Shinde's directorial debut, is now ready to start his next film.

There has been a buzz that along with Big B, Balki plans to rope in Shah Rukh Khan also for his film. On Wednesday evening at the launch of his television show, Amitabh confirmed that the film is still a work in progress. "Yes, we are in talks about a film. Working with Balki and Shah Rukh has always been a delight. But the right person to divulge more information about the film is the director himself. We'll make a formal announcement as and when it's ready," he said.
In the past, Big B and SRK have shared screen space in Mohabbatein, Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham and Bhootnath. This will be their fourth film together. However, the film will only begin mid-2014. While SRK has to recover from his surgery and complete his backlog, Big B's schedule for the next 10 months is choc-o-block. "This will be SRK's first film with Balki and he's looking forward to it. This is the only film that SRK has signed this year," said sources close to the production house. With two superstars on board and a genius like Balki, the film has almost everything going its way.

If this news is true then I could not be happier. Shahrukh is FINALLY moving out of the Dharma, YashRaj and his own, Red Chillies circuit and expanding his horizons to work with talented filmmakers like Balki. I am keeping my fingers crossed for this project to work out and simultaneously I hope Shahrukh reconsiders the film with Farah because honestly, I don't get good vibes from a film titled "Happy New Year" :(


Thanks for sharing :)

R.Balki is overrated, cheeni kam was aweful and the concept of Paa was copied from The curious case of Benjamin Button, I know i will be in minority for saying this but i think SRK shouldn't work with him..i would love to see him work with the likes of Imtiyaz Ali, Tigmanshu Dhulia, Rakesh Om Prakash Mehra, Anurag Kashyap or even Abhishek Kapoor..

3I and barfi aren't remakes and Ghajini was directed by the same director who made the original down south..and bodyguard was an official remake.

I would really like for this to be work out..and I hope that SRK has an actual proper role in this and not a small cameo like he did in Bhootnath.

I think SRK and AB Sr. work well together and Balki is a good director and could bring out SRK's lost "actor" well.

I agree...Balki is overrated esp wrt Paa which was nothing but a celebration of Big B's acting skills. But nevertheless SRK needs to work with other directors and I'll take anyone else apart from Adi, Karan or Farah.
