Farah Khan SRK film
Filmmaker-choreographer Farah Khan has officially confirmed her directorial return with a new film starring longtime collaborator Shah Rukh Khan, set to begin production by the end of 2026. The announcement, made during a lively cooking show episode at actor Nakul Mehta’s home, responds to years of fan campaigns urging her comeback. Farah humorously noted she’ll continue YouTube content to fund her triplets’ school fees, but her big-screen passion reignites with SRK’s backing.
Announcement Highlights
In the episode, Nakul lamented the absence of Farah’s signature high-energy entertainers like Main Hoon Na and Om Shanti Om. “Internet media has a whole campaign: ‘Come back Farah Khan.’ It’s time—by year-end, I’ll start my film,” she declared. When teased about YouTube producing it, Farah quipped: “If I direct, it’ll only be with Shah Rukh.” This exclusive SRK commitment underscores their unbreakable creative synergy, absent since Happy New Year (2014).
