Not so long back when Shah Rukh Khan was still shooting for Fan, there was news about him having given the nod to both Imtiaz Ali and Aanand L Rai to star in both their movies. Now that Fan is done, one was curious about which movie would he finally choose. According to the latest buzz, SRK has finally decided to go ahead with Imitaz Ali’s film first.

A source says, “Shah Rukh has given a green signal to both Aanand and Imtiaz but he will first start shooting for Imtiaz Ali’s film and post that he will shoot Aanand Rai’s film.” The superstar who’s right now high on the critical acclaim that Fan has got, is still busy with post production and later promotions of Raees. Soon after that’s done, he has alloted dates to Imtiaz.

A source close to the star confirms the news and says, “Imtiaz’s script is all ready and is just waiting to go on the floors, while Aanand’s script is still being worked on. So it seems logical that SRK chooses to do Imtiaz’s film first.”

Shah Rukh is most likely to romance Anushka Sharma in Imtiaz’s film and it is expected to go on the floors by July or August. If all goes well, Ali is hoping to release the film next year.

When contacted Imtiaz Ali and the spokesperson for Shah Rukh remained unavailable for comment.
