Shah Rukh Khan's last release was Zero which tanked and broke many hearts. Since then we have only heard rumours about him doing films with everyone from Atlee to Ali Abbas Zafar. We also heard that SRK's next will be with Stree writers Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK. We could have brushed it aside as yet another rumour but turns out it isn't entirely incorrect. Speaking to Rajeev Masand, the director-duo confirmed that they have narrated a story to SRK and he has loved it. Shah Rukh Khan's Collaboration with Raj and DK is a Comic Action Thriller?

Raj reveals, "We have narrated a story few months ago, and Shah Rukh loved it. We are in talks. He wants to do it and he said that we’ll do it. The news is not out (officially) but it leaked a couple of times. So I think I can talk a little bit about it. Because (until now), we have kept mum. It’s not like Shah Rukh said ‘Don’t tell a word’. Like, we didn’t talk about the Russo project till it came out. I guess if we hold it too long, then it leaks!”

Shah Rukh also added something during their narration. Raj revealed, "He did say one nice thing that ‘your script is great and it’s important to keep the script intact. So whatever happens in the journey, make sure that the script is whatever you guys wanted it to be. Make the film that it should be. Don’t be bogged down by the actor in it or the staff in it and stuff like that." We wonder if he realised that in his last few films scripts have been the biggest bummer!

However, the duo didn't reveal as to when this film will go on the floor. We think we can live with this belief that SRK's next could be with them as this filmmaker-duo is known for their quirky thrillers.
