It looks like Shah Rukh Khan should decide soon which will be his next film as mostly every month there’s a report about him starring in a movie, and then, unfortunately, the report turns out to be untrue. A couple of days ago, a tabloid reported that Shah Rukh Khan will be seen playing the role of Bill in the Hindi remake of Kill Bill.
Actor-turned-producer Nikhil Dwivedi has bought the rights of Hollywood film Kill Bill. But there’s no official announcement about the cast yet. A source had told the tabloid, “Nikhil bought the remake rights earlier this year, and now, he is in the process of giving shape to the project. There has been talk about Shah Rukh stepping into the role of the antagonist, Bill. This is one of the many films that the actor is considering for his next as he is keen on working with Kashyap. However, the discussions are at the nascent stage. The team has yet to zero in on the leading lady who will breathe life into Thurman’s part.”
However, this report has also turned out to be false. Nikhil took to Twitter to inform everyone that it’s a fake news. He tweeted, “#FAKENEWSALERT on #KillBillRemake & @iamsrk being a part of it. Absolute RUBBISH. While it ll b a dream come true for just anyone &”especially me” to work wth him in any capacity, (I look up to him &love him so much) but ths news is a figment of someone’s silly &lazy imagination!”

Well, in the past few months we have heard that Shah Rukh Khan will be starring in films like Don 3, Rajkumar Hirani’s next, Ali Abbas Zafar’s next, Shankar’s (2.0 fame) next, and Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Izhaar. But none of them have been officially announced.
A few days ago, SRK himself took to Twitter to clear the air that he hasn’t signed any film. The actor tweeted, “It’s always nice to know that in my absence & behind my back , I have surreptitiously signed so many films that even I am not aware of!! Boys & girls I do a film when I say I am doing it….otherwise it’s just post truth.”
