  • Meanwhile, SRK has been actively lending support to the nation's fight against the coronavirus crisis.

    The superstar has made contributions to the Prime Minister's relief fund as well as Maharashtra Chief Minister's fund.

    He also promised to contribute a total of 50,000 PPE kits in Maharashtra and West Bengal.

    The actor also offered his 4-story personal office to be used as a quarantine facility.

    What's up on the work front for SRK?
  • Separately, on the work front, SRK was last seen in Aanand L Rai's comedy-drama movie Zero (2018).

    However, the film garnered poor reviews from critics and performed miserably at the box-office.

    Since then, the actor has taken a back seat of sorts.

    While there have been countless rumors about him signing one movie or the other, SRK has not given any official confirmation yet.
