As soon as he finished the domestic schedule of Pathan, it was time for Shah Rukh Khan to begin work on his maiden project with Atlee - a film that he has been looking forward to. After kicking off the yet-untitled actioner in Pune in early September, the superstar and the Tamil filmmaker headed to Mumbai where they shot a pivotal action sequence at Film City in Goregaon over 10 days. Now, mid-day has learnt that their next stop is the BD Petit Parsee General Hospital in Cumballa Hill.

A source from the unit reveals, "The cast and crew will begin filming at the south Mumbai hospital from today. Atlee has lined up a 10-day shoot, post which it will be a wrap on the first schedule." There is little rest for Khan who will then be Spain-bound for the three-week schedule of Pathan with co-stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. The source adds, "Back home, Atlee will use the time to do the groundwork for the next stint." The stylised actioner reportedly stars Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra and Sunil Grover.
