It can get awfully lonely at the top. That’s what Shah Rukh Khan had told Farhan Akhtar’s character in ‘Luck By Chance’. And having lost a handful of friends over the past couple of years, Khan seems to have decided to follow his own onscreen advice. Having mended bridges with Farah Khan and more recently Juhi Chawla, the star has now extended the olive branch to Abhishek Bachchan. Bachchan Jr in all probability will join the cast of Farah’s next starring Shah Rukh, tentatively titled ‘Happy New Year’. Now, SRK and Abhishek have never been sworn enemies. In fact, they have worked together in Karan Johar’s ‘Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna’ as well. However, the two actors have never been good friends either. Shah Rukh’s equation with Abhishek’s wife Aishwarya Rai had been a little rough. Interestingly, Abhishek, despite the cold vibes shared with SRK has always maintained that the elder actor was like a big brother. A source close to the film explained, “SRK and Abhishek share a rather curious equation. However, now they are all set to work together. The project ‘Happy New Year’ is turning out to be a reunion of sorts. First Farah and SRK made up and now SRK will work with Abhishek.” According to industry insiders, Boman Irani will also play a pivotal role in the film. And while the two leading ladies have not been decided yet, Vidya Balan may bag the role opposite Shah Rukh. And though the exact date for the film to go on floors is not known, industry insiders revealed that Farah may get a five-six day window to shoot her first schedule with SRK before the actor moves on to Rohit Shetty’s ‘Chennai Express’ this October.
