Acclaimed filmmaker Vishal Bhardwaj has once again expressed his deep desire to collaborate with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, revealing that he has recently pitched a new script to the actor. During an interview on February 22, 2026, while promoting his latest release O’ Romeo, the Omkara director shared that he and the “King of Romance” have been in constant touch for years, frequently discussing potential projects. Bhardwaj described Khan as “the greatest charmer” of the country and noted that both are eager to find the right story to mark their first official film together. Recalling their past missed opportunities—including a version of 2 States that never materialized—the filmmaker said, “Inshallah, this time, that miracle will happen.” While Shah Rukh Khan is currently busy filming his upcoming action-thriller King, slated for a December 2024 release, Bhardwaj’s recent outreach suggests that a high-profile partnership could finally be on the horizon. Fans are already buzzing with anticipation at the prospect of the superstar entering Bhardwaj’s signature world of intense, poetic, and gritty storytelling.
