Shah Rukh Khan fans are waiting with bated breath to know about his next filmy outing. The last he was seen was in Anand L Rai's film Zero, which tanked at the box office. He took a long break after that and has been mum about the scripts that he is reading and assured his fans that he will announce soon. He also recently requested fans to stop speculating about the projects. However, given to the superstar that he is, it is hardly possible for the fans to not talk about it. Now, the recent rumour that has popped up is that he will be seen in popular South director Atlee's action entertainer. Shah Rukh Khan, Jean-Claude Van Damme and Jackie Chan in One Frame at the Joy Forum 2019! (View Pics).

As per Bollywood Hungama, the dimpled star has given a green signal to this massy project. A source told the portal, "Atlee’s film with Shah Rukh Khan is an original flick and not a remake of the filmmaker’s earlier films like Mersal or Theri. Atlee wrote the script sometime back and it’ll be a complete massy entertainer, full of action. SRK loved the premise and trusts Atlee’s vision. Hence, Shah Rukh Khan should sign this film for sure, if all goes well."

It can be noted that SRK had earlier expressed his burning desire to work in an action film. He also complained in jest that no one offers him that genre. However, now that this film is in line, we wonder if he will finally say 'yes'. Also, recently, King Khan praised the trailer of Atlee's film with Vijay, Bigil.  We seriously hope this speculation turns out to be true for a change!
