Before rumours about SRK making his comeback with Siddharth Anand’s next directorial emerged in the media, it was reported that the superstar was set to join forces with successful filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani for a social comedy about immigration.

According to a source, the high-profile film with Rajkumar Hirani cannot hit the shooting floor first because the team could not get permission to shoot in Canada due to the ongoing Coronavirus pandemic.

“Given the current global crisis, Hirani’s team could not procure permission to shoot in Canada. So, the director will have to kick-off the shoot at a later date. In the meantime, Shah Rukh is considering returning to the big screen with Siddharth’s action-drama. After the raging success of War (2019), Yash Raj Films is keen that he helm another tentpole movie. The film will be announced on Yash Chopra’s birth anniversary, September 27, and the superstar is expected to begin shooting in October tentatively,” divulges the source.

The bestselling author, whose novels like 3 Idiots and Kai Po Che! became major films, explained that many actors and directors struggle when their work doesn’t succeed. “There are actors who, when going to a restaurant, if they aren’t recognised, don’t enjoy the meal.
