After the rousing success of Andhadhun (2018), everyone is all agog about what filmmaker Sriram Raghavan is working on next. Some media outlets recently reported that the hit director is joining forces with superstar Shah Rukh Khan for his next project. However, Raghavan has refuted the canard.
While the filmmaker has quashed the rumours of directing Khan in his next, he does admit that whenever he writes a script, he wishes to work with the superstar. "There are certain actors I think I can approach whenever I am working on something and Shah Rukh is one of those. He is somebody whom I'd love to work with," says the filmmaker.
Raghavan goes on to reveal that once he had drafted a version of the story based on Khan’s blockbuster film Baazigar (1993).
"He is somebody whom I would love to work with. For example, one of the very early stories I had written, was based on a novel on which Baazigar was also based - A Kiss Before Dying. My version of that movie would have been something else. In fact, I worked on the script and later found out that a film had already been made on the idea," adds the Badlapur (2015) helmer.
While we have no idea what will be Sriram Raghavan’s next project, SRK is presently busy promoting his upcoming release Zero, scheduled to hit screens on 21st December.
