Shah Rukh Khan has recently collaborated with many well-known South Indian directors such as Mani Ratnam and Atlee in recent years. His 2023 hit film Jawan, also directed by Atlee, had the star play a dual role and highlight his versatility. And now it looks like SRK is also gearing up to team up with yet another South megastar director – Sukumar, mastermind behind Pushpa’s massive success. Reports indicate that the two could collaborate on an interesting rural political action drama.
SRK as an Anti-Hero in Rural India
According to sources, the movie will have Shah Rukh Khan playing an anti-hero, based in a rural setting. The plot will touch upon socially topical issues such as caste and class oppression, presenting a new script for the superstar. The movie is said to feature SRK in a raw, rustic, and “desi” avatar, a departure from his typical glamorous characters. This novel approach could very well reveal a hitherto unseen side of Shah Rukh Khan, making the movie a much-awaited one.
Fan Reactions: Excitement and Anticipation
This news has already generated excitement among fans. On Reddit, people have reacted to the news, with some of them writing, “Damn SRK???, please don’t reject this movieeeee!” Some have also been speculating on when it will be released, given Sukumar’s busy schedule with Pushpa 3 and a film with Ram Charan, suggesting that the movie will not release before 2030. Still, many believe that the pairing of SRK in an anti-hero avatar and Sukumar at the helm can turn out to be a record-breaker and turn into an “all-time blockbuster.”
A Wait of Long Duration
Fans of Shah Rukh Khan can wait eagerly for his next projects, such as King and Pathaan 2. In the meantime, Sukumar’s attention would be on Pushpa 3 as well as his movie with Ram Charan, which would push the SRK-Sukumar project a few years from now. Yet, with the hint of a juicy rural drama, this project might be worth waiting for.
