Shah Rukh Khan in Atlee's film, south actress Nayanthara joins stellar star cast!

Atlee is famous for his 2017 action thriller, 'Mersal', with AR Rahman's music and a star cast comprising Vijay, SR Suryan, Samantha Akkineni and Kajal Aggarwal.

New Delhi: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has joined hands with the multi-award-winning Arun Kumar, who's better-known professionally as Atlee, for the Tamil director's next as-yet-unnamed film. The news has been doing the rounds for quite some time, but now it is being reported that SRK, who was in Spain shooting for Siddharth Anand's 'Pathan', has started work on the film in Pune. SRK is said to be playing a double role -- that of a father and a son. This, incidentally, won't be Atlee's first film featuring Bollywood stars. His 2019 Tamil sports action film, 'Bigil', a Vijay-Nayanthara star vehicle, had Jackie Shroff as one of the principal actors.
