Post the failure of the film Zero, Shah Rukh Khan decided to take a break from acting. The actor is in talks with multiple filmmakers from North and South but nothing has been confirmed yet. As per the latest reports, Atlee Kumar is the front-runner to grab the film. Shah Rukh and Atlee met a couple of times in the past and discussed a possible collaboration.

The buzz is that Shah Rukh is looking forward to do a film with the director but there may be a delay in the same. Shah Rukh wants to finish a film with Siddharth Anand first and then work on Atlee Kumar's film.

On the other side, Raj Kumar Hirani and Vetrimaran are also in talks with the Bollywood Badshah. Shah Rukh has promised Atlee of doing a film and also finalised the subject. Atlee is also working on the script and it might get announced next year.
