Shah Rukh Khan

It has been a long wait since we saw Shah Rukh Khan on screen. The actor was last seen in Zero with Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma and now fans are eagerly waiting for him to make a smashing comeback.

Well, keeping up with his fan's excitement, SRK has interesting lineups of films to release in the future. One of the most awaited collaboration that was due for a long time was that of SRK and Rajkumar Hirani.

Yes, you read that right. When fans got to know that the duo are collaborating for Dunki, their excitement knew no bounds. Well, much to their disappointment, it is known that the film's DOP Amit Roy has parted ways from the film due to creative differences with the director.

Yes, talking Etimes Roy said, "Yes, I am not doing Dunki anymore. I shot for 18-19 days and quit. Raju Hirani and I had some creative differences. We both couldn't see from the same angle. But let me tell you that the parting was very amicable. We both sat down and then I quit. Honestly, I didn't want it to reach a stage of friction."

He added, “It happens sometimes. I had shot a song in Sanju for Hirani- the Baba Bolta Hai Bas Ho Gaya song. We had a great time then. I have also done a few ads for him. But you see, an ad is a collaborative effort wherein the client's vision also matters. But when it comes to a film, it is the director's vision. The shots I took will be retained.”

On the work front

Apart from Dunki, Shah Rukh will be seen in Siddharth Anand's Pathaan and Atlee's Jawan.
