The upcoming pan-Indian movie starring Shah Rukh Khan has been the centre of attention since the day it was announced. Directed by Atlee, the movie marks the first-time collaboration of the Bollywood Baadshah and the Bigil’s filmmaker. Thalapathy Vijay who earlier worked with the director is currently touted to make a special appearance in the upcoming SRK starrer.

According to a ToI report, it has been in talks that Thalapathy will share screen space with SRK in the yet-to-be-titled pan-Indian movie. There was a buzz earlier, around the blockbuster Bigil during the time of its release about the Bollywood Baadshah making a cameo appearance in Vijay’s sports drama. However, that did not happen and fans were left disheartened. But this time, hopes are high that the duo will be seen together on the silver screen and fans have their fingers crossed. If it does happen, then with Atlee’s magic, the screens will surely be set on fire.

Vijay earlier had made an entry into Bollywood with a brief appearance in Akshay Kumar’s 2012 film Rowdy Rathore. He shook his leg along with the Bollywood’s action king in the chartbuster song Chinta Ta Ta Chita Chita.

Meanwhile, the shooting of SRK’s movie is going at a brisk pace. The movie also marks the debut of the Lady Superstar Nayanthara in the Hindi film industry. This will also be her first movie with SRK. According to a Bollywood Hungama report, filming of the movie commenced in Pune, where the pair were shooting in the city’s metro station. SRK will be playing a dual role in the movie, which is touted to be an action-heist drama.
