Latest media reports are saying that Kollywood director Atlee is going to team up with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for his next venture. Yet to be announced, the film will be made on a grand scale.

"Going by the reports, it will be a massy entertainer. SRK might give Salman Khan and the likes a run for their money this time. The actor is no 'zero' (pun intended) despite the many flops. He enjoys a loyal fan base and the family audience's preference to watch 'Zero' when it was recently aired on TV shows that his popularity is still high," a source comments.

Atlee's film will be a costly one, with the director walking away with a remuneration of Rs 30 Cr. This is believable, considering that the 'Mersal' and 'Bigil' youngster is one of the most sought-after names in south India. The likes of Prabhas would be ready to work with him if he offers them a 'minimum guarantee' script. Such a director is deserving of the high remuneration.

To be shot next year, the film will be produced by SRK's home banner.
