Fans of Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan, who was last seen in Anand. L. Rai's Zero, have been eagerly awaiting the announcement of his next film.

After Zero turned out to be unsuccessful commercially, SRK had decided to take a break from movies in order to spend quality time with his family. On his 54th birthday, however, the actor reportedly informed that he has been reading scripts for a while now and will make an announcement as soon as he confirms his next. Reports suggest that SRK has signed up for a big-budget comic action-thriller, directed by Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, who had written and directed the critically acclaimed crime comedy film 99. "SRK has signed the stylish action film that is infused with Raj and DK's brand of quirky humour and will go on the floors next year. It is a space he hasn't explored yet," a report from a news agency read.

It has been speculated for a long time that 'Bigil' director Atlee might be teaming up with Shah Rukh Khan for his next project. An official announcement regarding the same is awaited.
