What's the story
Acclaimed director Rajkumar Hirani has reportedly refuted rumors of casting Shah Rukh Khan and Samantha Ruth Prabhu in an upcoming action-adventure-patriotic film, reported News18. The speculation began over the weekend, fueled by Khan's recent successful streak in 2023 with films like Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki. However, sources close to Hirani have labeled these rumors as "baseless" and "untrue," stating that the filmmaker is currently focused on writing his next project.
