Shah Rukh Khan rejects 20 films including projects from Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Salman Khan; planning to quit films?

Ever since the failure of Zero, there have been speculations about Shah Rukh Khan’s next film. The King Khan who has been looking to make a comeback after a few failures, has rigorously read over 50 scripts, showed interest in over 20 scripts and finally has zeroed in on four films, Siddharth Anand’s actioner Pathan, Rajkumar Hirani’s much anticipated social comedy, Atlee’s commercial actioner and Raj and DK’s quirky action-comedy.

After Zero, actor was all set to start the Rakesh Sharma biopic, Salute, however just few months before taking the film on floors, he droped it.

Veteran Sanjay Leela Bhansali went to SRK with the Sahir Ludhianvi biopic, but the superstar felt, it’s “too serious and risky” for him to do a biopic on the poet at this point of time and is rather looking for something in more “commercial” space.

Salman Khan went to SRK with the script of Guns of North wanting him to play the part of a cop to Aayush Sharma’s gangster. Of course, SRK politely refused to act in the film, as the story was not centered around his character.

SRK has also been in discussion with Kabir Khan, Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar for a film each, but that’s in the planning stage with practically no script in place.
