Mumbai, September 17, 2021: Earlier in the year, there were reports claiming that actress Taapsee Pannu was to be cast opposite Shah Rukh Khan in director Rajkumar Hirani's social drama film based on illegal immigration.

While there is no official confirmation yet on the same, it has now been reportedly confirmed that the actress is indeed playing the female lead opposite SRK. It will be the first time when she will share screen space with SRK.



"Taapsee is on board. She is doing Hirani's film. But she is not allowed to talk about it. Until the news is official, she cannot comment on it. The producers, Shah Rukh's Red Chillies and Hirani's production house will make the announcement soon", a source close to the development told Cinema Journal.

The film will mark Shah Rukh Khan's maiden collaboration with Hirani. The duo was supposed to collaborate in Munna Bhai MBBS but things didn't work out. Meanwhile, the maiden collaboration of SRK-Hirani is not a regular Bollywood social drama but rather deals with a broader immigration issue.

The movie will reportedly focus on illegal immigration called "donkey flight", which has emerged as a popular escape path for Indians hoping to immigrate to the US and Canada. Shah Rukh Khan, who was last seen in Anand L Rai's "Zero" in 2018, will reportedly start shooting on Hirani's film in May 2022. Before that, he will complete YRF's "Pathan" and Atlee's film.

Taapsee Pannu, on the other hand, has several films in the pipeline in Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu languages. She was last seen in Tamil horror-comedy "Annabelle Sethupathi", which also stars Vijay Sethupathi.
