Scoop: Double Role For Shah Rukh Khan In His Next

Shah Rukh Khan  plays a  double role in Tamil director Atlee Kumar’s Jawaan which will be his next release  after Siddharth Anand’s Pathaan. Interestingly lately, Shah  Rukh seems to prefer one-worded  titles for his films: Zero, Pathan, Jawan, Dunki …

In  Atlee Kumar’s  Jawaan  Shah Rukh Khan will be seen  playing  both  father and son in a double  role.The father’s role is a brief prelusory one.However the producers have bankrolled Deepika Padukone in a guest appearance opposite SRK’s  fatherly avatar.

For SRK’s  son’s  avatar, Tamil cinema’s ‘Lady superstar’ Nayanthara  has been roped in. She makes her  Bollywood debut.

This is  not  the  first time that Shah Rukh Khan plays a  double role. In  Mahesh  Bhatt’s Duplicate produced by Karan Johar’s father Yash Johar, Shah Rukh played a  double  role of the  protagonist  and antagonist. However the  experience of being  directed by Mahesh Bhatt  was not a  pleasant one for  SRK.

For a long time he had been hoping to feature  in another  solid double role.

Jawaan gives  SRK the  chance to sink into two roles at  the price of one.
