Shah Rukh Khan was going through a bad phase of his life as his elder son Aryan Khan was under arrest. He was put under official custody by the NCB officials in a drug case on October 3. He was set free from jail on October 30 after his bail plea was granted by the Bombay High Court. Amid all this, the Bollywood Badshah was very tense and had paused all his shootings. Now, SRK is considering getting back to work, slowly and steadily.
A friend close to the Khan family informed a leading daily that SRK is thinking of starting his work from December, which includes film shoots, narrations, endorsement discussions, and more. In the initial days of Aryan’s arrest, Shah Rukh Khan was shooting for Atlee’s Lion with Nayanthara. He was also slated to leave for the Spain schedule of Pathan with Deepika Padukone. Both these projects were put on hold.
The friend of Khan reveals to a leading daily that the actor is in no rush to get back to work but realises that his delay is impacting his producers and causing them financial pull. Both Atlee and Aditya Chopra, producer of Pathan have been very helpful and have told Shah Rukh Khan to not stress about dates or shoots. But, now that the matter is set, Shah Rukh Khan might resume shooting by end of November or early December.
Pathan starring SRK and Deepika has two big songs while Atlee has some fight scenes that the actor needs to get done. Besides this, the actor had lined up 5-6 narrations for his 2023-2024 slate, which was also put on hold. There are chances that he might get his team to coordinate for this and get into a few narrations too, informed the source.
SRK is very close to his three kids, Aryan, Suhana and Ibraham. Along with work his top priority will be Aryan and being around his family. He has asked his directors to avoid long outdoor schedules in order to stay close to Mannat and the family as possible.
