Woah! Karan Johar to bankroll Shah Rukh Khan-Atlee's film
It's been more than a year, we have seen Shah Rukh Khan on the silver screen. The news of his and Atlee's collaboration has been in the news for quite some time now and while we are waiting for the official announcement of this project, the new development has come out, which says that the head honcho of Dharma Productions, Karan Johar will bankroll this project.
A source close to the film, told Bollywood Hungama, "When Atlee met Shah Rukh Khan, he didn't have a completed script in hand. He had the gist of the plot ready and he had written four powerful massy sequences. These were key scenes like Shah Rukh Khan's entry, intermission point, climax etc. Shah Rukh, however, was in favour of a bound script before taking things forward. Hence, Atlee decided to get the screenplay in place first."
The source further added, "Atlee is currently working with the creative writing team of Dharma Productions to develop the screenplay. Atlee, KJo and SRK want to ensure that the script has trademark stamp of the director and at the same time, has the pan-India appeal. The writing process will take some time. Shah Rukh Khan meanwhile will finish a film or two and only then he will be able to act in Atlee's next. So it can be said that the film won't take off before mid-2021. However, it's a film that's been seriously considered as it'll be a win-win situation for all parties involved."
"Shah Rukh Khan hopes it'll give him the blockbuster that has been eluding him since years. For Karan Johar, it will benefit as it'll most probably be a Tamil-Hindi bi-lingual film. Hence, he hopes to recreate the magic of Baahubali and 2.0 if all goes well. Finally, Atlee also stands to gain as it'll give him a foothold in Bollywood. A clearer picture hence should emerge in a few months," concluded the source.
