Working hard on SRK’s film, it’s very important to me: Aanand L. Rai

Tanu Weds Manu Returns director Aanand L. Rai has said he has been working hard on his next directorial venture starring Shah Rukh Khan in the lead, but the script is taking more time than expected.

“Please wait. I am working, I am a very hardworking person and even now I work a lot.” he said at the trailer launch of his production ‘Happy Bhaag Jayegi’

When asked about the rumours that have been circulating about the film, including the signing of Katrina Kaif as the female lead, Rai said the film is very important for him.

“I am still working on the story. But yes, definitely I can say that it is a love story on which I am working. It is a very important film for me as a director, it will take a little more time than what I was expecting and I’m working on that.”

The film, where Shah Rukh plays a dwarf, is scheduled to release in theatres during Christmas next year.

  • Best of luck Anand sir, we want to see another path breaking performance from the acting legend SRK like we have seen in so many memorable SRK films. Box office is important but not as important as quality. Hope you bring out newer shades of SRK in this film as this guy, I mean SRK, is a stunning revelation as an actor to be concise.

  • @ rangil Wanted film was first offered to Srk , but Srk rejected the film . Collection of wanted could be more than what earn in earlier .

  • Film is not on the floor yet, but people starting exposes their insecurity.. what will happen when anand along with srk set their foots on the film set….

  • @sss u r blaming slb as he clashes with dilwale ,then why r u defending srk when he is clashing with kaabil ,whose date is announced before raees
    u r blaming rohit shetty bcoz he made dilwale but don’t forget chennai express is the highest grossing movie of srk
    why these double standards and yes we know every year srk movie become atbb in scripting stage .LOL.
    srk was just overconfident on his stardom during dilwale-bm clash

  • and one more thing @sss reason of srk’s faliure is his poor script choices and his over-confidence that he can make any movie blockbuster coz of his stardom but now the neutral audience had lost trust on him
    now he will have to give some solid and universally appealing movies like chak de india or mai hu na to re-gain his lost stardom don’t blame rohit or slb for this faliure

  • Bollywood = luv story

    Dwarf bna k luv story
    Wrestler bna k luv story
    2000 bc me ja k luv story

  • This is boring mr anand you keep doing same up haryana local life stuff if you really dare do something different on screen do something like kabir khan his each outing was so different from other you are going hirani way kind of bored

  • Clashing with Padmavati?. Another 80 cr film on the cards. Poor uncle SRK, lost his last chance to deliver a 100 cr film.

    Hope he does well not looking too old otherwise it will be old mans love story too .

    Best luck for Mario film

    hopes this should collect atlest 150cr at bo

  • @Rang-ill Singh 12:20 pm : Not sure about the authenticity of your statement but if at all Anand had approached non-actor for his next venture and if he rejected the same, then it’s really good both for Anand as well as the film industry. Because the forthcoming venture of Anand seeks a ‘potential actor’ as lead and we all know the acting limitations of our poor non-actor.

    @Joker Bhushan 12:23 pm : Stop cracking jokes you joker. The epic excuses are not what you listed out, but those which we saw this Eid. When all the inmates of Lalluland came up with a new concept of “Pre-Eid” and “Post-Eid” just to prove that non-actor Khan is no less than any other star as far as the opening of his movies is concerned (though he has been chasing a two year old opening record despite of releasing his movies on every possible lucrative festive period and despite of his tera-stardom, LOL).
    And you buffoon, it’s you non-actor fans who mocked Farah by calling her a crap director, not us.
    And even if some of SRK fans called Farah as crap director and held her responsible for HNY, what’s wrong in that?
    Look at the track record of Farah. She did three movies with SRK and all were superhits/BBs. On the other hand, she did TMK with Akshay that too during Xmas, but it failed at B.O.
    So records itself are speaking in the favor of SRK, no matter whatever you bark.
    And last but not the least, it’s better if you don’t talk about clashes. Because if I will list out the clashes which your non-actor lost , then there won’t be any space left in the indicine’s comment section.

    @The Phenom : Very bad! I don’t like an SRK fan insulting senior citizens of our country :-(
    Aunt had recently celebrated her 97th B’day and she was so involved in the bash that she forgot to take her medicines (which she generally takes to cure her amnesia) and as a result, she went unconscious later.
    Now, aforementioned comments are coming from her state of consciousness and even she doesn’t know what she is posting. So kindly bear with that until she backs to normal.

    @12:29 pm : Hmm but I don’t want Kangana either because once the movie becomes successful, these loggerheads will start chanting that it’s all because of Kangana and SRK doesn’t have any contribution in the success.

    @Lunatic 1:35 pm : What happened lunatic? Too much of excitement?? Got a distinction in your third standard examinations or what?

  • Salman rejected this role coz he knows he can’t even match his worst overacting with class actor SRK.
    Lolman rejected Baazigar, Devdas and CDI too.
    Thank god he rejected them otherwise it would have end up with huge disasters in bollywood ever. And he would have completely ruined the characters Ajay,vicky,kabir,devdas etc.
    Dear salman, Bollywood doesn’t need your overacting. KINDLY RETIRE.!

  • Btw srk fans are really hope for a good movie…but your good movie also cant beat salman bad movie..coz stardum is also a factor but believe me srk is way behind salman in stardum…srk = ranbir kappor …both lost their value..even ranveer beat srk ..haha/..what happen to raees if it released with sultan.. 80 cr max..second week me to screen tak nhi hoti ush k paas..even indicine itself give 8 marks on starvalues to srk movies..and a full of 10 to salman ..i m wrong indicine??

  • Anand L Rai’s movie looks best for Srk sir as far as BO is concerned out of the three upcoming movies in raees, imtiyaz’s next and this dwarf movie. But as a user has already mentioned I too want SRK sir to work with big commercial directors like KJO or Aditya Chopra and release the movie on his favourite Diwali weekend. If that happens then RIP all BO records.

  • This time he is coming with another 80 crore club movie. Now her fans will again find some excuse like every time they did – farah khan bad director, rohit shetty crap director, movie was offbeat, movie was crap, movie was content rich, maneesh Sharma is bad director, no deepika, no songs, srk in bad phase and blah blah blah and the most promising challenges on upcoming craps like –
    Happy New Year – 400 crore
    Dilwale – 500 crore
    Fan – 300 crore
    Raees – 360 crore,Sultan – 20 crore
    Anand L Rai next – 500 crore
    He is king of clashes, though he lost a clash with small actor Ranveer Singh and a child artist mogli!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    And srk will again manipulate collections in Kaabil vs Rice clash. His career is finished, no matter how good the movie is if he is in the movie then his presence will make the movie disaster and he will finished his career and in turn finishes the director’s career too!!
    #True Salman Fans

  • Wil b an intersting watch…a gigantic over-actor playing a dwarf character

    may b duniya ke sabse bada dwarf

  • Make you way for TIGER the raped chuha to come and start bashing srk again
    a guy who cant respect a person who lost his parents early, from poor stuggled hard and reached to success

  • @Navina Aunty–Lallu fan talking about acting is the world’s biggest irony. We all know Lallu fans’ greatest regret is that Lallu can’t act 3% of what SRK can and Lallu has no awards. I hope Lallu gets a single prestigious award before losing his virginity. But we all know acting and loosing virginity are two things Lallu can’t do.

    @Indicine-there is nothing offensive in my post. You don’t have to block it again and again.
