This news has quickly become viral on social media since its emergence. The upcoming film in question is produced by the acclaimed South Indian director and producer Lokesh Kanagaraj, known for his recent hit film, Leo. Despite Kanagaraj’s attempt to collaborate with Shahrukh Khan, the Bollywood icon declined the opportunity to feature in Rajinikanth’s film (Shahrukh Rejects Rajinikanth Movie).
Scheduled for a Pan India release, Lokesh Kanagaraj expressed a keen interest in casting Shahrukh Khan for a role in the film.

Meanwhile, Shahrukh Khan is actively preparing for the release of his upcoming film Dunky, investing significant effort and enthusiasm into its promotion. Featuring a stellar cast including Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal, the film is directed by the veteran Bollywood actor-director Rajkumar Hirani. As Dunky gears up for release, it promises tough competition to other films, including Salaar.
