Contrary to recent reports, Shah Rukh Khan and Samantha will not be collaborating with director Rajkumar Hirani for a new film. Speculation had been rife that the two stars were set to team up for an upcoming project following Hirani’s film ‘Dunki’. However, a source close to the filmmaker has dismissed these rumors.
The source confirmed that Rajkumar Hirani is currently focused on writing his next film and has had no discussions with either Shah Rukh Khan or Samantha regarding any new project. The notion of the trio working together on an untitled action-adventure patriotic film has been labeled as completely unfounded and untrue.
Before the release of ‘Dunki’, Rajkumar Hirani spoke to India Today about his experience working with Shah Rukh Khan, praising the actor’s preparation and positive energy on set. Hirani remarked, “Working with him has been such joy that it’s hard to describe. He brings positive energy on the set and always makes everybody happy around him. I had no idea he prepares so much; I thought of him as an impromptu actor. When an actor is already prepared, it makes your job easier. Dunki is a very high-performance film with a lot of monologues and long scenes, but he has got the entire script in his head, word to word. He even remembers everybody else’s lines.”
In the meantime, Shah Rukh Khan is reportedly working on his next film, ‘King’, which also features his daughter Suhana Khan.
