Shah Rukh Khan to start prep for Rakesh Sharma biopic Saare Jahan Se Acha in US

Shah Rukh is one superstar who never shies away from taking risks. Even though he might not have had a super duper blockbuster on his hands of late he still ensures that his roles in every film are different. Whether its bringing a superhero in Ra.One to playing second fiddle to Alia Bhatt in Dear Zindagi, to Fan and now with his upcoming release Zero where he is playing a vertically challenged man, SRK has proved time-and-again that he is not in the business to rest on his laurels.

So, after the release of Zero Shah Rukh will start work on the Rakesh Sharma biopic. The film is tentatively titled Saare Jahan Se Acha. A report in leading daily claims that the superstar will begin the prep for this ambitious project in the United States. To play the role of Sharma convincingly the actor will have to get accustomed to extreme conditions which astronauts have to face in space.

The film was supposed to go on floors in September but got pushed further as SRK was busy with Zero promotions. The leading daily reported a source, “SRK’s dates for Salute are yet to be locked. After the dates are finalised and the cast has been signed on, the film’s makers will make an official announcement.” The role was first offered to Aamir but since he could not take up the project due to various reasons he recommended Shah Rukh who he thought to be a perfect fit for the role.
