SRK ready to roar

Though South director Atlee is shooting for his Shah Rukh Khan-starrer in utmost secrecy, the film's title has leaked online. A letter seeking permission to park the unit vehicles at the upcoming Sant Tukaram Nagar Metro station in Pune is doing the rounds. It names the project Lion. Speculation is rife that Atlee has decided on the title as SRK shot with South actors Nayanthara and Priyamani at the location. The letter also sought approval for setting up a food station for unit hands and a counter for the costumes. King Khan's fans are celebrating as they consider him the king of Bollywood. His Siddharth Anand's directorial venture is called Pathan. They point out that both titles are apt for King Khan.
