After the debacle of his last film Zero, Shah Rukh Khan's fans have been waiting eagerly to see him on the silver screen. In fact, SRK is reportedly in talks with filmmakers like Rajkumar Hirani, Raj Nidimoru and Krishna DK, Siddharth Anand and Atlee for their upcoming projects. However, amidst that, we hear that the 54-year old actor has found his next film as a producer.

According to a report in a leading daily, Shah Rukh, along with Manish Mundra, has come on board for Kaamyaab, which features veteran character actor Sanjay Mishra in the lead. The film, which is Hardik Mehta’s directorial debut, also stars Deepak Dobriyal and Sarika Singh. Confirming the same, SRK's production house Red Chillies Entertainment tweeted, "@RedChilliesEnt is proud to present an endearing and inspiring story, Har Kisse Ke Hisse... #Kaamyaab, a @DrishyamFilms production, starring @imsanjaimishra & #DeepakDobriyal. Directed by National Award Winner #HardikMehta @iamsrk"

What's more? Manish Mundra, Founder-Producer, Drishyam Films shared, "Kaamyaab is an authentic tribute to Bollywood that has travelled around the world and we could not be more excited to finally bring it to our audiences in India. We are thrilled to collaborate with Red Chillies Entertainment on this one, as the film is a complete package of content driven entertainment and we are eagerly looking forward to its release.”

For the unversed, Hardik is also directing Dinesh Vijan’s Roohi Afzana this year, with Janhvi Kapoor in a double role.

Meanwhile, talking about the film, the daily quoted a source as saying, “The makers felt Sanjay Mishra was the best fit for the role as his career graph in Bollywood mirrors that of his character, who starts out as an extra and goes on to be acknowledged as an extraordinary actor." Kaamyaab reportedly outlines the struggle of character artistes in Bollywood and it impressed SRK. Apparently, the film will also feature several contemporary character actors and pays tribute to late veterans like Johnny Walker, Birbal, Manmauji and Viju Khote.

Kaamyaab is slated to release on March 6, 2020.
