“Of course, I want to work with him! I don’t think there’s any director in this industry who wouldn’t want to work with Mr. Shah Rukh Khan. But it has to be the right fit, the right film, and the right role for someone like him. It will align when it aligns,” Zoya Akhtar articulated with conviction.

In a nod to their previous collaboration, Shah Rukh Khan made a memorable appearance in “Luck By Chance,” playing himself in a cameo role. His character engaged in a thought-provoking conversation about stardom with Farhan Akhtar’s on-screen persona, leaving an indelible mark on the film.

While Zoya Akhtar eagerly awaits the opportune moment to collaborate with Shah Rukh Khan on a substantial project, the Bollywood superstar is currently in the spotlight for another reason. His daughter, Suhana Khan, is making her grand acting debut in “The Archies,” a project helmed by Zoya Akhtar herself.

Shah Rukh Khan has been an unwavering pillar of support for Suhana and has consistently voiced his encouragement for her maiden venture into the world of cinema. As the anticipation builds for both father and daughter’s cinematic journeys, the prospect of Zoya Akhtar and Shah Rukh Khan joining forces again adds an exciting dimension to Bollywood’s dynamic landscape.
