Mumbai, September 14, 2021: After taking a break from movies for more than 2 years, Shah Rukh has returned to his acting duties and is working on back-to-back projects with some of the renowned filmmakers. He is currently shooting for Siddharth Anand's YRF spy thriller "Pathan" as well as Atlee Kumar's untitled film.

While "Pathan" marks his official comeback on the big screens, Atlee's film will be his next after this actioner. Once he finished working on Pathan and Atlee's film, Shah Rukh Khan will movie to the keenly awaited Rajkumar Hirani's social drama film. It will mark SRK's first collaboration with Hirani, the director behind Sanju, PK, 3 Idiots, and Munna Bhai M.B.B.S. films.



Hirani's film with SRK is currently in the pre-production stage. But it is learned that the duo's first collaboration 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.

"Donkey flight is referred to as the illegal method of entering a foreign country via multiple stops in other countries. It's a popular method adopted by thousands of youngsters every year after they fail to enter the target country via legitimate means. Hirani's film deals with this wide subject in his trademark style with a narrative filled with emotional as well as light-hearted moments. It's a story of a Punjabi guy and his arduous journey of immigration to Canada", a source revealed to Peepingmoon.com.

The term 'Donkey Flight' is based on a Punjabi idiom meaning to hop from place to place. It describes a common play that would-be immigrants would use, in which they apply for a tourist visa for a European Union Schengen country.

The SRK-Hirani film is expected to go on floors around May 2022. Taapsee Pannu is said to be the frontrunner to play the leading lady, however, she hasn't been signed as yet. Hirani has always done with scripting and has already begun recce in Punjab. Meanwhile, after completing a short schedule of Atlee's film, SRK will head abroad for a month-long schedule in October to shoot the action sequence of Pathan. After wrapping up Pathan, he will resume Atlee's film in November 2021 to wrap it up till March 2022.
