Shah Rukh Khan Trying His Hand at Gujarati after Tamil?

Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan will be seen playing a Gujarati
don in his upcoming venture if rumours are to be believed.

According to reports, the "Chennai Express" star has given an
"in-principle nod" to Rahul Dholakia, who will direct the movie.

"In the film, Shah Rukh is supposed to play a large-hearted Gujarati
don. Since the project is in the nascent stages, not many are aware of
it. Dholakia has already met Shah Rukh a few times about the film and
for narrations," Hindustan Times quoted an industry insider as saying.

As per the reports, Shah Rukh will reunite with Farhan Akhtar and
Ritesh Sidhwani, who worked with him in "Don" franchise.



"SRK trusts Farhan and Ritesh's judgment and vision. Besides, the
three of them are good friends. Since he has given his nod just a few
days back, things will slowly kick off now," the insider added.

The source went on to add that Shah Rukh will take up the project only
next year after wrapping up Farah Khan's film, "Happy New Year". "He
is currently busy with CE. Then, from September-October onwards, he
will start with Farah's (Khan) Happy New Year (HNY). So it looks like
Dholakia's film will be shot post HNY."

While no confirmation has been made by either Shah Rukh or Farhan, the
insider claimed that a major part of the film will be shot in Gujarat.

"If all goes well, a major part of the film will be shot in Gujarat.
But such details are yet to be finalised since both SRK and Farhan are
caught up with CE and Bhaag Milkha Bhaag respectively," the insider
said.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is awaiting the release of "Chennai Express"
on 8 August. Deemed to be one of the most-anticipated movies of the
year, the action comedy is directed by Rohit Shetty and has Deepika
Padukone in the female lead role.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

It's a job most Indians would die for — shadowing Shah Rukh Khan wherever he goes. For the last two months, that's exactly what a TV crew has been doing, following the country's biggest star from South Africa to America to London to Mumbai — all for the making of a unique six-part series on the actor, to be telecast on lifestyle channel Discovery Travel & Living. "It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
