Are Shah Rukh Khan and Vishal Bhardwaj set to collaborate for a film? The filmmaker gives a hint
Shah Rukh Khan is rising high with the success of Jawan, which collected around Rs. 571 crores in the domestic box office. SRK broke the hiatus of 5 years and made a powerful comeback with Pathaan, which became the highest grosser of the year. Not only just that, Shah Rukh also has another high profile project, Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki. However, amid all these, there are buzzing rumours that the actor is set to collaborate with the cult director, Vishal Bhardwaj, who gets the credit for films like Omkara, Haider, Kaminey, Maqbool, Satya, among others.
Putting the rumours to rest, Vishal addressed the same and said that they have come very close to work together. However, it couldn't happen. Vishal Bhardwaj told News18, "At one point, we came very close to doing a film. It was announced also and we were going to shoot but somehow it didn’t happen."
He added, "Whenever we meet, humesha yeh rehta hai ke kab hona hai. Ab wo waqt aa raha hai. Cameo toh ho hi gaya hai indirect, toh film bhi iss baar honi chahiye. Andar se mujhe bhi feeling aa rahi hai. Shah Rukh ne bhi mujhe bola hai ke iss baar mujhe kuch lag raha hai ke hum log kuch kar payenge saath mein (We always want to answer 'when is it happening'. Now the time has come, he has already made an indirect cameo so now the film remains. I have a feeling, and even Shah Rukh Khan has told me he has a similar feeling - we will be able to do something together this time)."
If reports are believed to be true, Shah Rukh Khan was set to feature in 2 States along with Asin Thottumkal under the direction of Vishal. However, things didn't happen and the movie later featured Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor.
