Shah Rukh Khan is called the Badshah of Bollywood and rightly so. The superstar who has spent years entertaining the masses also does romance like nobody else in the business and we are not taking arguments. If you still insist; infectious charm, dimples and his personality does the trick. Not to mention the arresting screen presence that has throned him as King Khan. Yes, the actor's last film Zero might have tanked at the box office but fans are eager to see him make a resounding comeback with a great script.

And guess what? It seems like there's something happening on that front. According to Mid Day, Shah Rukh Khan is in talks with none other than Sanju director, Rajkumar Hirani. Apparently, the duo has been meeting and discussing a romantic drama which let's admit it, is what SRK does best. The report also suggests that they might announce the collaboration soon but it might be under Hirani's own production and not Vidhu Vinod Chopra's. A source was quoted saying, "People have been waiting for Shah Rukh to announce his next project after Zero. Shah Rukh and Hirani have been meeting since the past few months discuss this. It’s almost finalised. Hirani will float his own banner and will not (work) with Vidhu Vinod Chopra. It’s a romantic drama with a strong emotional cord running through; it’s right SRk’s alley."

Earlier, the actor had told a Chinese website about not signing films after Zero's debacle, "This time, I didn’t feel like doing it. I thought, this time, I will take out time to watch films and listen to scripts and read books. My kids are also finishing their college life. Suhana is still in college, Aryan will hopefully pass his college in a year. I want to spend more time with my family."

Apart from that, as per our exclusive report, the star might feature in the remake of Amitabh Bachchan and Hema Malini-starrer Satte Pe Satta alongside Katrina Kaif, which will be directed by Farah Khan Kunder. Stay tuned to BL for more updates and scoops!
