Nayanthara to be the leading lady in Shah Rukh Khan's next with filmmaker Atlee?

Shah Rukh Khan is getting ready to pay back his fans for their patience in abundance as he has signed on for some big entertainers which will release in the near future. The actor is already busy with Sidharth Anand’s Pathan which is a big budget action entertainer and is said to have given his nod to Tamil filmmaker Atlee for his next. Reportedly he will also finally collaborate with filmmaker Rajkummar Hirani.

While Pathan will mark Shah Rukh Khan’s reunion with Deepika Padukone on the big screen, recent reports suggest that the leading ladies of his other two big-ticket projects have also been finalized. Atlee’s film, which Shah Rukh is said to have recently given his nod to after lots of discussions will apparently feature actress Nayantara alongside the star.

Previous reports have claimed that Shah Rukh will move on to shooting for Atlee’s film after Pathan. As for Rajkummar Hirani’s film which is touted to be an immigration drama, actress Taapsee Pannu’s name has cropped up time and again. Shah Rukh produced Badla which was headlined by the actress and Amitabh Bachchan in 2019, but have never really shared the screen with her.

The film will reported be shot overseas and the makers are waiting for the pandemic situation to ease out.
