Shah Rukh Khan's association with Mani Ratnam goes back a long way. The duo share immense respect for each other and the actor is keen on collaborating with him for a project. While he's currently struggling to reserve a hit under his name, he's not demoralised. His determination is still touching the sky and he's ready to face all the hurdles that lie ahead of him. The star has previously delivered hits with filmmakers like Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Karan Johar but he has no qualms in working with Aanand L Rai in the future. Only This Assistant Director Dared To Get Shah Rukh Khan On Time, And She Succeeded At It!

In his recent chat with Filmfare when the actor was asked which director he'd like to work with next, he said, "Anand sir is someone I’d like to work with again. But I want to make an action film with him. Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s fun. It’s been a long time since I did his kind of film. He had asked me to do one but I was busy with Zero. Amongst the new people, Rajkumar Hirani would be nice to work with. Going ahead, SRK even revealed how Mani Ratnam had approached him for Raavan but he couldn't allot any suitable dates for this project. "I enjoyed working with Mani Ratnam. It was fun. He wanted me to do Raavan. But I was caught up then. Also, it was bilingual. I found it difficult to do that." Well, SRK's loss was Abhishek's gain and rest as they say is history. Shah Rukh Khan, Kangana Ranaut, Ranveer Singh, Salman Khan – Can You Guess the Actors Based on PM Narendra Modi’s 'PUBG Wala Hai Kya' Memes That We Made?

We strongly believe that this recent chat happened during the round of promotions for Zero. Why? Because there's no way SRK would mention working with Hirani amid the sexual misconduct allegations. The Sanju director's name is currently embroiled in the #MeToo controversy and until he's cleared of all the charges, there's no way he'll receive any support from the entertainment industry.
