Fans of Shah Rukh Khan have a lot to look forward to in the coming two years. He has three films lined up, which are Siddharth Anand's Pathan, Rajkumar Hirani's movie and Atlee's masala entertainer. One of the films that is being talked about from a long time is the one with Atlee. It is now a known fact that he will be seen in a double role in the movie.

A source told mid-day, "Unlike those films however, here, the two characters are a generation apart. At the heart of the actioner is the father-son relationship, which is fractured by their polarising worldviews. The father is a senior R&AW agent, who is on a mission to capture his gangster son. Though the premise is similar to that of Ramesh Sippy's Shakti (1982), the stories have nothing further in common." In the past, he has done double roles in movies like Duplicate (1998) and Don (2006). It seems the superstar will wear heavy prosthetics in the film. The source told mid-day, "The project is likely to roll from mid-2021 after Pathan is complete."
