Shah Rukh teams up with Anurag Basu despite ‘Kites’ debacle

Anurag Basu’s latest flick ‘Kites’ might have had a disastrous run at the Box Office, but that hasn’t stopped A-list actors from working with the filmmaker. The director, who is working with the best actors in the industry, has now signed Shah Rukh Khan for his next project. And this seems to be quite an achievement for the taskmaster, who, after getting Hrithik in ‘Kites’, Ranbir in ‘Khamoshi’, has now got King Khan onboard.
