Santosh Sivan denies film with Shah Rukh, King Khan has another director
Santosh Sivan has denied media reports of him working with Shah Rukh Khan in a effects laden futuristic super-hero flick.
"I’m still scripting the fantasy film. And the screenplay is a long way from being completed. So how can I be thinking of casting? And I’m not doing a film with Shah Rukh at all," said Sivan, who has previously worked with Shah Rukh in the disaster that was Asoka.
"In fact, Shah Rukh is taking very keen interest in the scripting of Ra.One and director Sinha would like Shah Rukh to be credited as a screenwriter for the project, if and when SRK’s production house Red Chillies actually sets down to make this ambitious sci-fi thriller," an industry source said.
Shah Rukh will begin working on Ra.One once he has completed promoting Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Karan Johar’s My Name Is Khan; a film that he begins shooting for in December.
"In fact, the two projects are Shah Rukh’s immediate and complete priority right now. He was supposed to start Karan’s film earlier this year. But Karan allowed Adi to take his hero’s dates and cameraman (Ravi Chandran). Now Shah Rukh will complete Karan’s film. Only then will he think of doing an FX film. That, in any case, requires tremendous preparation," the source added.
