Atlee, who made his directorial debut with the Arya and Nayanthara starrer 'Raja Rani', has risen to the status of a leading director in Tamil cinema today. The last film he directed was Bigil starring Vijay and Nayanthara in the lead, which was a huge success. For long, people were speculating what would be Atlee’s next project. Atlee is joining hands with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan for his next.
It is said that while the title is locked, an official announcement on the same would come by soon. The title might be announced before Pathan’s shoot is completed. In case, you didn’t know, SRK is currently shooting for Pathan, produced by Yash Raj Films and directed by Siddharth Anand, who had earlier directed the Hrithik Roshan starrer War. Deepika Padukone plays the leading lady while John Abraham would also be seen in a pivotal role in Pathan.
SRK was last seen in Zero, which released in 2018 and was directed by Aanand L Rai. The film, co-starring Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, unfortunately wasn’t a big draw at the box office.
