Shah Rukh Khan is expected to take on another dark role again. The superstar is reportedly in talks with Pushpa 2 director Sukumar for an upcoming film. The project will feature him in a “raw and rustic” avatar. However, fans might have to wait as the film is unlikely to begin before 2027.
Shah Rukh Khan In Sukumar’s Rural Political Action Drama?
According to Mid-Day, SRK and Sukumar’s film will not be the psychological thriller fans expected. Instead, it will be a rural political action drama with a gripping narrative.
A source revealed, “King Khan will play an anti-hero, but this will be a rural political action drama that promises to show him in a raw, rustic, and desi avatar that blends his mass appeal with his global superstar image. It will also explore social issues like caste and class oppression.”
SRK has played anti-heroes before in Darr, Baazigar, and Don. If this film goes as planned, it could be another powerful addition to his filmography.
Reason For The Long Wait
Fans are excited about this collaboration, but the film is not happening anytime soon. Both SRK and Sukumar have packed schedules. The director is already working on RC17 (a romantic drama with Ram Charan) and Pushpa 3: The Rampage with Allu Arjun.
SRK also has a busy lineup. He is gearing up for King, where he will star alongside his daughter Suhana Khan. The film begins production in May with a start-to-finish schedule. He is also committed to Pathaan 2.
A source shared, “SRK has King and Pathaan 2 in his kitty. He has reportedly told filmmakers eager to work with him that they’ll have to wait for two years before he can consider their projects.”
Shah Rukh Khan: Work Front
After a blockbuster year in 2023 with Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, SRK is now focusing on his upcoming projects. His next project King is already creating buzz as it marks his first big-screen collaboration with Suhana Khan. It will begin shooting in May 2025.
As for his film with Sukumar, it’s a long wait. But with a gripping storyline and SRK in an intense role, this one could be worth it!
