Khan was last seen in Aanand L Rai’s Zero, alongside Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. However, the film was a box office dud. As a producer, he has backed the Netflix thriller  Bard of Blood  with Emraan Hashmi, an upcoming zombie show titled  Betaal , as well as  Class of 83 , starring Bobby Deol. In an interview with Rajeev Masand at  Indian Film Festival of Melbourne (IFFM), the actor said that he did not have any plans to act in a film anytime soon. He explained that he was looking for an action film or a “fun film”.

The standalone special premieres on Netflix on 25 October.
