Farah Khan-Shah Rukh Khan's new movie buzz
Speaking candidly on the vlog, Farah Khan addressed the growing anticipation around her next film. Responding to questions about returning to direction, she said, “Abhi banaungi main! Abhi bachche chaley jayenge na college phir banaungi. There is a whole petition on the internet called wapas aao Farah Khan. So I think it is time. I think at the end of this year I will start.” The comments were made during her informal conversation with Nakuul Mehta, whose vlog episode featured the exchange.
When Mehta jokingly asked whether YouTube would produce her next project, Farah responded with a line that instantly grabbed attention. “If I do direct, I will do it with Shah Rukh. Otherwise, I will wait and do YouTube,” she said, making her preference clear while keeping the tone characteristically playful.
Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan share one of Bollywood’s most successful director-actor collaborations. Together, they delivered mainstream hits like Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om and Happy New Year, films that blended scale, humour and mass appeal. Any confirmation of their reunion naturally fuels excitement across the industry.
