Shah Rukh Khan joins his team of writers to pen a political thriller for Netflix?

Shah Rukh Khan's production house, Red Chillies Entertainment, already has two Netflix projects in the pipeline. The first one is Bard of Blood starring Emraan Hashmi. The second is a Netflix original film, Class of 83, directed by Atul Sabharwal and starring Bobby Deol in the lead. Not just that, it was recently reported that SRK is bankrolling another political thriller for Netflix, which apparently runs into the political ground of India between 2000 and 2019, tracing the political relations between two major parties.

Now according to a report in a leading daily, SRK has gone beyond the role of a producer and is busy penning the web show with his team of writers. "Khan, who is enjoying a self-imposed sabbatical since Zero (2018), has joined the writing team in scripting the show. He sits with the team, which includes renowned political columnists, to discuss the material every day. Given his vast knowledge of world politics, he comes up with scenes, referencing them from real-life events and the workings of the political dynasties around the globe. Whether he is taking credit for the concept or writing is yet to be known. However, the superstar has taken to writing keenly," the daily quoted a source as saying.
