Poster boy of romance returns

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is weighing his options for his next project even as he nears completion of ‘King’. Industry sources say he has been offered a big-budget, old-school romantic drama that has “struck a chord”, alongside a mainstream double-role film with Farah Khan. According to sources, “It’s an age-appropriate love story with emotional depth, positioning him as the quintessential poster boy of romance. He is excited, and will decide on the film by June.” After a string of action films, SRK is keen to pivot.

On his next: King
‘King’ stars Shah Rukh Khan with daughter Suhana Khan and Deepika Padukone, directed by Siddharth Anand. The action drama is expected to release this December.
