Shah Rukh Khan's dwarf film with Aanand L Rai called 'Batlaa'?

New Delhi: Superstar Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in maverick filmmaker Aanand L Rai's much-talked-about venture starring Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif. The trio first worked together in Yash Chopra's 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'.

Not much is known about SRK's film other than the fact that it has him playing a dwarf's role for the first time ever on-screen. However, according to Pinkvilla.com, the title of the film has been revealed.

The report mentions that SRK starrer has been titled as 'Batlaa', which stands for a man of Lilliputian-size.

The report quotes a source as saying, “The film will see Shah Rukh playing the role of a dwarf and as he plays a pint-sized character, people have been calling it a dwarf film, a word disliked by Rai, who feels that it’s more than just a dwarf film. He feels the story is greater than a character. The filmmaker has always told people that more than a dwarf, the story revolves around the story of a short man. Shah Rukh also plays a man of normal height hence calling the film which didn’t convey the actual meaning didn’t make sense. That is why after much deliberation the creative team and Rai, after consulting with SRK, decided to title his film Batlaa, which means a man of Liliputian-size. Batlaa conveys the story and is slightly light-hearted too, so people don't think it's a very serious film. The first schedule of the film is over with Shah Rukh and Anushka and Katrina will begin her schedule from next month in Mumbai.”
