Iconic duo Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol to come together for Rajkumar Hirani’s next?

Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol could reunite for Rajkumar Hirani’s new film. According to reports, the iconic duo will team for a social comedy, which will also star Vidya Balan, Taapsee Pannu, Manoj Bajpayee and Boman Irani. According to a report in the Free Press Journal, the Rajkumar Hirani film will be based on immigration and the journey of a man and his family across two countries – India (Punjab) and Canada. Kajol is believed to have signed up for playing Shah Rukh’s wife in the film. Taapsee Pannu has been offered the role of a reporter who will cover his story across borders. Meanwhile, Vidya Balan has been approached too to play a character, who will help Shah Rukh on his journey. Manoj Bajpayee and Boman Irani are expected to play key roles in the film.

The Free Press Journal quoted a source close to Rajkumar Hirani, “Hirani’s next is a social comedy about immigration and the journey of a man and his family across two countries, Punjab and Canada, with a strong emotional cord running through it, just like all his other movies. All four principal actors have performance-oriented roles. There are three actresses in the movie – one plays Shah Rukh’s wife, and two more strong, layered, pivotal characters. While Kajol will play his spouse, apparently Taapsee Pannu has been approached to play a reporter, who covers his story across borders. Vidya Balan is also in talks for the third female character, someone who helps Shah Rukh in his journey.”
