Shah Rukh Khan has fans across the globe. Thus, when the rumour of his debut in the south industry was out his fans couldn’t keep calm.
SRK has been roped in for Atlee Kumar’s next film which is Thalapathy Vijay’s 63rd film. While some sources declared that he is only in the film for a cameo role, some rumours suggested he will be playing a villain.
Keeping all the speculations to rest, one of the close sources to the film production quoted, ‘SRK has a prominent character that he’s playing in Thalapathy 63. It’s not like his other cameos. In fact, he is the main villain who comes in the picture only towards the climax. He has a good 15 minutes odd role, fighting Vijay. The makers wanted a leading face from the Hindi film industry to shoot for the role and when Atlee approached Shah Rukh for it, he agreed on principle to do it.’, the report further added about the shooting schedule, ‘It’s a four-five day shoot and the team is figuring whether to film the scenes in Chennai or in Mumbai itself.’
Rumours are rife that King Khan will also collaborate with Atlee for the Hindi remake of the film Mersal.
