After meeting Sharad Pawar, Prashant Kishor is said to have caught up with Shah Rukh Khan at Mannat late Friday night. It was described to be a courtesy call. King Khan was introduced to the poll strategist by Mamata Banerjee, who is close to the Superstar. After the West Bengal election, Kishor had said he was “taking a break”. With time on hand, he is exploring all options.
December 2018 was the last time we saw the actor on the big screen. It has been two years and six months precisely. The world seems to be awaiting his next film and speculations and reports have been suggesting it is Yash Raj Films’ espionage thriller ‘Pathan’ that also stars Dimple Kapadia, John Abraham and Deepika and Padukone.

The film also has a cameo by Salman Khan who may come to save the day in the climax in his ‘Tiger’ avatar. And in return, SRK is likely to return the favour when ‘Tiger 3’ comes out. The two shared screen space in ‘Tubelight’ and ‘Zero’ as well. Just like how Rohit Shetty created the cop universe with ‘Simmba’ and ‘Sooryavanshi’, YRF plans to do the same with spies.
What the production house is also doing is creating casting coups that immediately piques curiosities. Be it bringing together Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan in ‘Thugs of Hindostan’, Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff in ‘War’, or Shah Rukh Khan and John Abraham in ‘Pathan’ now. Two of them are helmed by Siddharth Anand.
Coming up to SRK, his association with YRF goes a long way. It all began with ‘Darr’ in 1993, ballooned with the historic ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’ in 1995, and continued with films like ‘Dil To Pagal Hai’, ‘Mohabbattein’, ‘Veer-Zaara’, 'Chak De! India', ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’, ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’, and ‘Fan’.
