Shah Rukh Khan was last seen on the big screen in December 2018 and since then has been missing from action. The superstar is said to be on a short break from the movie. There was a strong buzz that the Chennai Express star had said yes to a film, which will be directed by Aditya Chopra. More recently, there was news that SRK is in talks with Rajkumar Hirani and Atlee Kumar in a film.
Earlier, there were reports that the superstar was working on the Rakesh Sharma biopic. Rakesh Sharma was the former Indian Air Force pilot and the first Indian to travel to space. But he reportedly left the project after facing a debacle in Zero, which co-indecently was based on the space genre.
