SRK made a comeback on the big screen last year, after a gap of more than four years. The superstar delivered two blockbusters 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan'. His third release of the year, 'Dunki' was not able to achieve the same success as previous two releases, but the Rajkumar Hirani-directorial emerged as a box office hit.
The actor is yet to announce his next project. However, several reports state that he will next be seen in Sujoy Ghosh's 'King' in an extended cameo appearance. The movie is expected to be headlined by Suhana Khan. Multiple reports also state that SRK has decided to invest more than Rs 200 crore in this particular project.
As per Pinkvilla, SRK is also expected to headline 'Pathaan 2'. Nothing more about the project has been revealed, however, the film is expected to go on floors later this year.
SRK lately has been attending KKR's IPL matches, and he can be seen cheering on his team from the stands. He was last seen attending KKR's match against Rajasthan Royals at the Eden Gardens, Kolkata.
