Due to his son Aryan Khan’s continuing legal case, Shah Rukh Khan has placed all of his business commitments on hold. Aryan, who was detained in connection with a cocaine search on a Mumbai cruise liner, has returned home and is improving day by day. According to a source close to the Khan family, SRK is considering starting his work in December, which will include film shoots, narrations, endorsement conversations, and more.

Shah Rukh Khan was filming Atlee’s Lion (working title) with Nayanthara in the days preceding up to Aryan’s arrest. He was also set to fly to Spain for the Pathan shoot with Deepika Padukone. Both of these projects have been postponed. SRK is not in a hurry to return to work, according to his pal, but he recognises that his tardiness is affecting his producers and putting them in financial jeopardy. Both Atlee and Aditya Chopra (Pathan’s producer) have been extremely flexible, telling Shah Rukh not to worry about schedules or shoots. However, now that the dust has calmed, Shah Rukh may resume filming by the end of November or the beginning of December.
Pathan has two major songs, and Atlee has a few battle scenes that he has to finish. Aside from the shoots, SRK has 5-6 narrations lined up for his 2023-2024 slate, which was also put on hold. There’s a potential he’ll enlist the help of his crew for this, and he might even do a few narrations.

SRK’s first priority will be Aryan and being around him as much as possible, despite the fact that work is on his mind. His directors and crew have also stated that they will avoid extensive outdoor schedules so that the actor may spend as much time as possible with Mannat and his family.
