It all started when Nakuul said that he really misses the genre of films that Farah used to make. Farah said, “Abhi banaungi main! Abhi bachche chaley jayenge na college fir banaungi! There is a whole petition on the internet called wapas aao Farah Khan (I will make a film soon! My kids are going to college so I will make after that. There is a whole petition for me to return to direction)! So I think it is time, I think end of this year I will start.”

Farah's last directorial was Happy New Year. The film starred Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Sonu Sood and Boman Irani. It was released in 2014 and became a box office success.

Meanwhile, Farah started her vlogs in 2025 after her team encouraged her to do so. She chose her cook Dilip as her on-screen companion and gave him punchlines to deliver in the videos. Their playful banter turned him into an overnight sensation on the internet.

Shah Rukh was last seen in Dunki, which was released in 2023. The actor will be seen next in Siddharth Anand's King. A release date for the film is yet to be announced.
