Shah Khan will be playing the protagonist while John will be essaying the role of an antagonist after a long time. The film also marks the return of John in the role of a villain under the Yash Raj Banner after New York (2009). In fact, it was Yash Raj Films that catapulted John Abraham in the big villain league with Dhoom (2004). However, there has been no official confirmation on the same.
Meanwhile, on the work front, apart from Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan recently produced Class of 83’ starring Bobby Deol. There are also reports that suggest that SRK is in talks with Farah Khan, Farhan Akhtar, Atlee, and Aditya Chopra for their next film.
Earlier, it was also reported that SRK has a special role in R Madhavan’s debut directorial film Rocketry: The Nambi Effect and Ayan Mukerji’s fantasy adventure film Brahmastra starring Ranbir Kapoor, Alia Bhatt, and Amitabh Bachchan.
Speaking about SRK’S role in R Madhavan’s film, a source said, “In Rocketry’, he plays a journalist who interviews scientist Nambi Narayanan and takes us through the protagonist’s journey in flashback. “ Ayan and Maddy are extremely fond of SRK and believed no one but he fits the bill. Neither are run-of-the-mill cameos, but are integral to the plot and carry the narrative forward.”
On the other hand, in Brahmastra, SRK has a cameo role where he will be seen playing the role of a scientist, who introduces the world to the all-new fantasy universe.
