Thanks to the stupendous success of Pathaan, Siddharth Anand has become one of Shah Rukh Khan’s favourite collaborators. Even before their next film together, Tiger vs Pathaan, co-starring Salman Khan, goes on floors in February 2024, SRK and Siddharth will reportedly team up on another project. They are jointly producing a film that will also mark SRK’s daughter Suhana’s theatrical debut. The director, the film’s cast and other details are being kept under wraps for now. Interestingly, the superstar-producer will have an extended special appearance in the movie, like he did in Dear Zindagi, while the narrative will revolve around the protagonist, essayed by his daughter. It is heard that the subject lent itself well to the father-daughter casting. Pre-production is underway, with the film slated to start later this year. Any filmmaker in B-Town would have loved to pull off this casting coup. But you can trust the sharp SRK to seize the opportunity himself.
