Muneesh Sharma, Rahul Dholakia, Imitiaz Ali and now, Aanand L Rai. Shah Rukh Khan has been working with new directors since Fan (2016). Earlier this year, Raees (2017) came out, while Imtiaz Ali and Rai’s projects are yet to be released. After winding up Imtiaz Ali’s project, tentatively titled 'The Ring', Khan has begun shooting for Rai’s film in which he will be playing a dwarf. It has not taken long for Khan to forge a friendship with his director. It is not just Rai though, the actor has grown fond of the director's entire family.
Praising Rai for bringing so much positivity to the sets, Khan attributed this to Rai having a beautiful wife and a daughter.
The filmmaker-producer thanked his stars for keeping him surrounded by people with great dimples. This was the director's own quiet way of complimenting Shah Rukh's world famous dimples.
The untitled project with Rai sees Khan play a dwarf. The film will also have Khan reuniting with his Jab Tak Hai Jaan co-stars, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
