Filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj opened up on the prospects of him working with Shah Rukh Khan on a film. In an interview with News18, he confirmed that SRK has a cameo in his upcoming Netflix film ‘Khufiya’, starring Tabu, and said that he hopes to work with the actor soon.
Vishal Bhardwaj told the portal, ‘At one point, we came very close to doing a film. It was announced also and we were going to shoot but somehow it didn’t happen.’
He added, ‘Whenever we meet, humesha yeh rehta hai ke kab hona hai. Ab wo waqt aa raha hai. Cameo toh ho hi gaya hai indirect toh film bhi iss baar honi chahiye. Andar se mujhe bhi feeling aa rahi hai. Shah Rukh ne bhi mujhe bola hai ke iss baar mujhe kuch lag raha hai ke hum log kuch kar payenge saath mein (We always want to answer 'when is it happening'. Now the time has come, he has already made an indirect cameo so now the film remains. I have a feeling, and even Shah Rukh Khan has told me he has a similar feeling - we will be able to do something together this time).’
Vishal also shared that he really loved Shah Rukh Khan's latest film ‘Jawan’, post which he called the star to speak with him about it 'at length'.
Vishal Bhardwaj was reportedly supposed to adapt Chetan Bhagat's ‘2 States’ with Shah Rukh Khan and Asin Thottumkal in the lead roles. However, the film was eventually directed by Abhishek Varman and Alia Bhatt and Arjun Kapoor starred in the lead roles.
