Shah Rukh Khan In Talks With Stree 2 Director Amar Kaushik For An Adventure Film After King | What We Know – News18

In 2023, Shah Rukh Khan ruled the box office with his three releases— Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki—collectively earning around Rs 2,500 crore worldwide. Since then, there’s been a lot of excitement about his next projects. It’s been reported that he has locked in two big action films: King, directed by Sujoy Ghosh, and Pathaan 2 from the YRF Spy Universe. Sources also reveal that Shah Rukh is aiming to finalise a three-film lineup before starting King. He’s currently reviewing scripts and is looking for a project outside the action genre. Talks are reportedly ongoing with Amar Kaushik and Dinesh Vijan for a major adventure film​.

A source close to the development said, “Shah Rukh Khan has met almost every filmmaker in the last few months, and heard the ideas they had for him. But nothing really excited him. Now, Shah Rukh Khan is in talks with the Stree 2 team of Amar Kaushik and Dinesh Vijan.”

The source shared that Amar Kaushik and Dinesh Vijan are making a big adventure film for Shah Rukh Khan and are considering a partnership. This film will not connect to the Stree Universe but will start a new one. They have met a few times, but Shah Rukh hasn’t decided yet.

“Amar and Dinoo have a big-ticket adventure film for SRK, and are exploring the possibilities of a collaboration. It would not be a part of the Stree Universe, but mark the beginning of a new one. Two to three meetings have taken place, and Shah Rukh Khan is yet to take-a-decision on the same. More discussions are expected to take place in the months to come by, before he takes a call on doing or not doing the film. The Maddock Film aside, SRK is also continuously in touch with Raj and DK for their comic action thriller, as he has connected to the subject and wants to do a film with them, subject to a little rework on the loopholes. Apart from the adventure film and the comic action thriller, he is in talks with some makers from the South for action films, but there’s nothing locked,” said the source.

The source further added that SRK is looking into planning a commercial film in between two actioners. “While the shoot schedules of King and Pathaan 2 are locked and on paper, SRK is exploring if he can work on a new-age commercial film in between the two action-packed entertainers. He is expected to take a call on Amar Kaushik, Raj & DK, or something else by the end of this year,” the source added.

Meanwhile, Stree 2 director Amar Kaushik is basking in the success of the film. The Shraddha Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao starrer is inching closer to Rs 600 cr in overall box office collection.
