Shah Rukh Khan’s New Year gift for fans: Actor to unveil first look, title of Aanand L Rai’s next

SRK will announce the title of Aanand L Rai’s film Monday evening and also unveil the first look of the movie, which also features Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif.

Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan has his New Year’s Day treat ready for his fans. He will announce the title of Aanand L Rai’s film on Monday and also unveil the first look of the movie. The movie, which will see Shah Rukh in a never-seen-before avatar -- reportedly as a dwarf, also features Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif.

Anand L Rai and Shah Rukh Khan have teamed up for the first time with the upcoming film.

Shah Rukh and Rai engaged in banter over the pending announcement on Twitter. The actor asked the filmmaker about when should the title be announced, and they reached a conclusion to give it out to the fans at 5 p.m. on Monday. SRK asked Rai, “.@aanandlrai sir, title kab announce karna hai? Ya 2018 mein bhi gaaliyan khaani hain?! @AnushkaSharma #KatrinaKaif,” to which the filmmaker replied, “Arre sir apno ki gaaliyaan hain, khaa lenge 😊Par aap bataao ? 1st January kaisa rahega ?”

Khan then asked if Rai would only announce the title: “Accha rahega...Par sirf title announce karoge ya kuch dikhaaoge bhi? @AnushkaSharma #KatrinaKaif” The filmmaker was more than happy to add, “Naye Saal ka pehla din hai Khan Saab!!! Kuch dikha bhi dena chahiye....😊 @AnushkaSharma #KatrinaKaif.”

The banter unfolded with a series of sketched images of Shah Rukh and Rai, who have collaborated for the first time for this project.
