Shah Rukh Khan's film with Aanand L Rai set to roll in 2017!

New Delhi: Bollywood's badshah Shah Rukh Khan will be seen as a life coach to Alia Bhatt in slice-of-life story 'Dear Zindagi'. After giving ample advice to the dimpled beauty in Gauri Shinde directorial, the Khan of all seasons will be seen working with 'Tanu Weds Manu' helmer Aanand L Rai.

The news of him working with Rai has been floating in the industry for quite some time now. Speaking at one of the sessions of the NFDC Film Bazaar, PTI quotes the filmmaker as saying that the movie is still in pre-production stage and they hope to go on floors sometime next year.

"We're on it and hopefully we would be able to roll it next year. I can't share much about it. But I must say just wait and watch it's something very interesting," Aanand said.

Interestingly, SRK is reportedly playing a dwarf in the project which is a love story. The director is also planning to put a nice dose of romantic songs in the movie. Aanand is yet to finalise the lead actress for the movie.

Hmm..who do you think should be cast opposite SRK in this film?
