After the much-anticipated King, Shah Rukh Khan is likely to reunite with filmmaker Farah Khan after almost 12 years.

While the scripting for this commercial film is still underway, an unexpected offer has now come SRK's way, potentially altering the trajectory of his next move. A source confirms, "This isn’t a rehash of his earlier roles... it’s an age-appropriate narrative set in a more mature world of love, layered with emotional depth and drama. The film positions him as the quintessential poster boy of romance." 

"Shah Rukh Khan is equally excited about both projects, the Farah Khan directorial and this newly offered romantic saga. A final decision is expected by June, once he has had ample time to evaluate both scripts and their development progress. And he continues to meet and hear many other top names from the Indian Film Industry."
