Rohit Shetty and Shah Rukh Khan’s first film together Chennai Express released last year and re-wrote box office records. And the duo is teaming up yet again for an out-an-out comic film. Apart from King Khan, this comic caper will also star Varun Dhawan and Arjun Kapoor in the lead roles. While talking to a leading tabloid, a source close to the project said, “It’s a pure comedy with a strong emotional core — classic Rohit Shetty territory. We have zeroed in on Varun and Arjun to play Shah Rukh’s younger brothers.” In fact, the Singham Returns director has already started working on the pre-production of his Shah Rukh starrer mega budget film. Looks like Rohit can’t wait to get started with his next film with SRK, no?
We hear the film will roll only after Shah Rukh Khan’s much-awaited film Happy New Year co-starring Deepika Padukone hits the screens. Now that’s not very long as HNY is slated to release during Diwali this year.
What’s interesting is that the makers are yet to finalise the female lead. We wonder if Rohit Shetty will rope in his CE heroine for this one well. Would be great considering the trio had a successful outing at the box office last time. Right peeps?
