Shah Rukh Khan likely to team up with Vishal Bhardwaj for his next, source says 'The actor is ready because...'

Shah Rukh Khan and Vishal Bhardwaj is a pair that can explode if done correctly. And a report by Hindustan Times says the duo is likely to come together for a film. A source says, “There is inside chatter in the industry that Shah Rukh Khan is signing a Vishal Bhardwaj film for his next. The plan is in sync with his desire to keep surprising the audiences with his film choices.” It added, “Shah Rukh has made all such unconventional choices all through his career. He has also worked with Amol Palekar in Paheli in the past, so it will be interesting what he would bring to Bhardwaj’s world. However, the industry is waiting for confirmation from either of them soon.” Bhardwaj , known for films like Maqbool, Haider, Kaminey, Omkara, and the recently released Khufiya on Netflix, spoke about how he almost worked with Shah Rukh Khan and how the two project fell apart. In an interview with Mid-day, Bhardwaj first spoke about  SRK  and 2 States, and said, “We had differences over the setting of it. I wanted to set it not in a college but in a bank like ICICI. So, that’s where we were different. Shah Rukh wanted it in a different setting.” He added every time they meet, the Pathaan star tells the filmmaker how they should work together. Talking during to India Today, the Haider maker termed Shah Rukh Khan’s Jawan as a ‘beautiful film’. He also called King Khan his ‘hero’. According to Vishal Bhardwaj, no one could have done what SRK did in his latest release. Calling Jawan a beautiful film, Vishal Bhardwaj was quoted as saying, “They showed perfectly what they wanted to show. He is my hero in Jawan.” The director revealed that the subject of espionage has not been dealt with by Bollywood. He added that while it happens to be an extremely thrilling and exciting topic, it does not offer flying cars. Vishal Bhardwaj revealed that Shah Rukh Khan starrer Pathaan and Jawan are part of a heightened imaginative world and are not espionage films in reality.
