SRK to cast in Kabir Khan's love story

After two back-to-back films with strife-loaded, political themes, Kabir Khan is ready to let his hair down.

His next, which he has just ongoing to script, is a reverie film with a heavy escapist part. In fact, Aditya Chopra has asked Kabir to pen his next project with Shah Rukh Khan in mind. So it would be Khan and Khan in the next one.

Kabir says, “After Kabul Express and New York, I need to calm down. Not that I don’t enjoy making films on severe global biased issues. I do. I enjoy the status of a name that identifies with issues that go further than entertainment. But I also need to prove myself in a more adventurous, escapist space.”

That’s where Kabir’s next will score. It will be a film with a serious dose of light-heartedness. My next is going to be a awe-inspiring love story. Now that I’m writing it, I’m having fun.”

So will it be a hat-trick with John Abraham? “Not essentially,” comes the guarded answer. “It will depend on who fits into the final script.”
