Mumbai: Shah Rukh Khan will begin shooting for a film after a two-year sabbatical. The shooting of ‘Pathan’ will begin in November end. His last film was ‘Zero’ in 2018.
Sharing the screen will be Deepika Padukone as the heroine and John Abraham as the antagonist.
A Mid Day report said he will commence shooting of Siddharth Anand’s ‘Pathan’ at Yash Raj Films studios in Andheri, Mumbai, Hindustan Times said.
Given that there will be a lot of excitement around Shah Rukh’s return to films after a long gap, producer Aditya Chopra has planned for a ‘tentpole actioner’.
Here’s want an unnamed trade source was quoted as saying in the report: “The first schedule will be a two-month affair that will focus solely on Shah Rukh’s portions, after which the unit will take a New Year’s break. Deepika Padukone and John Abraham will join the second stint that is slated for January 2021. Like Siddharth’s previous outing War [2019], Pathan will be a slick and stylish revenge drama. Since the film marks Shah Rukh and John’s first on-screen union, Adi and Siddharth have etched out dramatic scenes featuring them. They have roped in action director Parvez Shaikh, who has worked on War, Brahmastra and Bell Bottom, to design high-octane fight sequences between the duo.”
King Khan is in UAE at present where his team Kolkata Knight Riders is taking part in the ongoing IPL 2020. His new look with long hair and light beard, reportedly, the look for Pathan went viral within no time.
The source added: “Shah Rukh will sport a stylish look with outfits curated by stylist Shaleena Nathani. Like Raees [2017] where he was seen wearing spectacles, this film will have him flaunting customised sunglasses.”
