However, due to the ongoing pandemic, the team of the yet-to-be-titled film reportedly didn't get permission to shoot in Canada. The maiden collaboration of Shah Rukh and Hirani was said to go on floors post October, but there is a chance of a delay. Now, in the latest development, Shah Rukh, who was last seen in Zero in 2018, is reportedly considering to start shooting for Siddharth Anand's actioner before the immigration drama. Produced by Yash Raj Films', a source close to the film informed a leading daily that the announcement will be made on late Yash Chopra's birth anniversary on September 27.
"Given the current global crisis, Hirani's team could not procure the permission to shoot in Canada. So, the director will have to kick off the shoot at a later date. In the meantime, Shah Rukh is considering returning to the big screen with Siddharth's action-drama. After the raging success of War, Yash Raj Films is keen that he helm another tentpole movie. The film will be announced on Yash Chopra's birth anniversary, September 27, and the superstar is expected to begin shooting in October tentatively," the source told.
