After an incredibly long waiting period, Shah Rukh Khan may announce his next film soon. If well-placed industry sources are to be believed, the superstar is finally teaming up with acclaimed filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani for his next. The duo has never worked together before and hence, everyone seems quite psyched up about the upcoming collaboration.
A popular publication reports that Khan has given his nod to Hirani’s next directorial which will be a light-hearted film revolving around the subject of immigration. Surprisingly, Hirani will not co-produce his upcoming film with his long-time collaborator and good friend Vidhu Vinod Chopra. He will instead join forces with Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment to mount the project.
“Rajkumari Hirani Productions and Shah Rukh’s Red Chillies will co-produce the SRK starrer. Hirani’s regular writer Abhijat Joshi will script the film, which is about immigration. It will be a light-hearted film but would have a deep dramatic core to it. Most importantly, it is something that Shah Rukh has not done before,” a source in the know informs the publication.
Besides the untitled film Rajkumar Hirani, Khan is also in talks with South Indian filmmaker Atlee and the director duo Raj & DK for two different projects. However, if reports are anything to go by, the superstar will first team up with Hirani.
Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Zero (2018), an Aanand L Rai directorial which turned out to be a debacle at the box-office. Also starring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma, the movie did not even cross the ₹ 100 crore club, let alone making any profit. After Zero sank without a trace, the superstar did not sign any movie. It has been more than a year since fans have not seen their favourite actor on screen.
No final blueprint exists for the show's conclusion.
The original ending plan from season 15 is totally scrapped.
Fan devotion is the reason for the 22-season marathon.
Rhimes suggests the audience now holds a stake in the finale decision.
Aiming for a positive send-off, but no timeline is on the table.
The woman who built Grey’s Anatomy from scratch has no idea how it ends. Seriously. That’s wild, right? After 450 episodes and this current Grey’s Anatomy season 22, the person who started it all is just as in the dark as we are. She thought it would be over years ago. This whole endless Shondaland saga? It’s on you: the fans.

Whatever happened to the original ending?
Gone. Rhimes had one, way back. When the series hit roughly its 150th episode, she already had the final moment mapped out. But things didn’t go as planned and the story just kept expanding. She once imagined it would all wrap up by the fourth or fifth season. Now, seeing it still running strong in 2024, she can only call it “insane.”
This is the interesting bit. Rhimes is handing over some of the keys. She says the decision isn't really just hers any more. It's the fans' and the cast's. There's a debt there, you know? After all, they’ve stuck with it. So, ending it feels like a group vote. She can't just yank the cord without a nod from the crowd. It’s their show as much as hers, maybe more.
What can we expect from the finale whenever it comes?
No date, no plot details. Rhimes just has a vibe she's chasing. She wants it to be "positive," a "great way" to finish. It's vague, sure, but it tells you something. She's not planning some brutal, everyone-dies cliffhanger. Maybe. Probably. The goal seems to be satisfaction over shock. But with this show, who knows? They could change their minds ten times before the final script is printed.
