SRK on taking time-off: Want to spend time with family
What's the story
Perhaps, for the first time in his career, Shah Rukh Khan is taking some time off. Notably, King Khan has not signed any film since his last outing, Zero (2018). Turns out, he just wants to loosen a bit, and spend more time with his family. Naturally, there are tons of fans (including this writer) waiting for their beloved superstar to make a comeback.
Last film
Shah Rukh was last seen in Aanand L. Rai's 'Zero'
To note, SRK is going through a rough phase, professionally, for quite some time now. He was last seen in Aanand L. Rai directorial Zero. The film revolved around the extraordinary journey of Bauua Singh (SRK), a dwarf from a small town, who falls in love with Aafia (Anushka Sharma), a scientist suffering from cerebral palsy. However, the film was a complete debacle.
Reports
Even during his sabbatical, speculations are on
Despite him lying low, you can't keep SRK away from the news cycle. Time and again, his future projects are being talked about. These include his on-again, off-again Rakesh Sharma biopic, a Rajkumar Hirani flick, and Farhan Akhtar's Don 3. However, SRK hasn't denied his involvement with these films. May be he does need time off to clear his head, and emerge stronger.
