In a recent interview with India Today, Shah Rukh Khan confirmed that he has said yes to playing a Gujarati don in Rahul Dholakia's next yet untitled directorial venture.

After being asked about what's next for him after Chennai Express, SRK is quoted as saying, "An MRI on August 19 (because of his recent shoulder surgery). Then Farah's (Farah Khan) Happy New Year in Dubai and Goa. Then Rahul Dholakia's film."

Rahul Dholakia has directed Parzania (2005) and Lamhaa (2009) before this. News reports also suggest that Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani (of Excel Entertainment) might co-produce the movie with SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment, the movie will be extensively shot in Gujarat, and SRK will be playing a big-hearted don from the region in it. This is considered a completely new experience for SRK in terms of Gujarati settings, culture, and language.

And that is not all. In another recent interview with Indian Express, SRK confirmed that he is also in talks with many other directors, including Anurag Kashyap, Ashutosh Gowariker, Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Vishal Bhardwaj, and Manish Sharma among others.

About working with Sanjay Leela Bhansali, SRK is quoted as saying, "Yes, Sanjay has two subjects and one really fantastic big thing."

Could the "fantastic big thing" SRK is pointing to be Bajirao Mastani for which Bhansali has been wanting to sign SRK and Aishwarya Rai Bachchan since long? We can only cross our fingers and hope.

One thing is for sure, many of Bollywood's top most directors are lining up to sign the Baadshah for their upcoming movies!

Bajirao Mastaani won't happen with SRK & Aish
Ajay was signed last year apparently
But I am sure it's a jinxed project since it was written on basis original choices. Now since they are't doing. It might not turn out to be good

It doesn't matter who it was originally written for...when people hire superstars...they tweak the script according to the superstar...3Idiots was offered to Shahrukh first and Amir did it...turned out fine...CDI was offered to Salman but SRK did it...tht also turned out fine...there are a million examples where the role was written keeping someone else in mind and someone else did it...
I hope the movie is a good one..

Just like Rahul Dholakia confirmed that nothing is official, I am sure we'll see same with SLB with Bajirao Mastaani😆😆😆

I just want to see SRK in good critical acclaimed film, where he actually shows his ACTING skills.

He should think about a transition in his career, same goes for Aamir khan as well. Meaning stop acting with young heroines or acting young.


For the first time I am hearing that,Salman was offered CDI role, would have been weird to see him play Kabhir😆

I so agree with you...I can understand why SRK chose to do CE...he had to prove a point...point is proven...now he should go back to doing quality movies..

Srk as been approached by a lot of good directors: SLB, Vishal, and Anurag. I hope he does a film with Anurag and Vishal.
