Shah Rukh Khan Is ‘Dost’  Directing Atlee’s Film

Shah Rukh Khan’s next release Pathan is  already being talked about as one of  the  biggest releases   of  2023 and even more significantly Shah  Rukh Khan will be seen in this  film after  four years. His last release was  Zero in 2018.

Before Shah Rukh moves to his next project, namely  Raju Hirani’s Dunki, he will be seen  in Tamil director Atlee Kumar’s  Hindi debut .The untitled  film is an original  and not a remake  of any Tamil film  of Atlee. It features Shah Rukh along with Nayanthara  who makes her debut in Hindi, the very talented Priya Mani  and Sanya Malhotra.

A minor  part of the  film has already been shot. But  now a major schedule has started. It has come to light that  Shah Rukh has revised  much of Atlee’s original  script.

“There were some aspects to  the  script that Shah Rukh was not sure about. He has changed  those aspects in the script. The script is now very different  from what  it was when  it came to  Shah Rukh,” says  a  source.

Sources  also inform that Shah Rukh is  taking  “more than a  passing interest” in the direction.

“It’s not  like he’s ghost-directing  the  film. He’s dost-directing it.Atlee is young and  relatively new. He is happy to follow Shah Rukh’s advice,” says the source.
