2012: SRK’s year for romance

After last year’s action failed to pack a punch, the actor has now decided to get back to his super hit formula of love and drama. The thing with winning formulas is that they always help you win. Some may say it restricts the actor within. Some may call it repetitive. But formulas work. More so when it’s a super hit formula. And Shah Rukh Khan has perhaps woken up to that realisation. After last year’s big budgeted ventures ‘RA.One’ and ‘Don 2’ (both in the action genre) failing to generate the response that was expected, the actor seems to have decided to go back to doing what he is good at – romance. The actor has already started shooting for Yash Chopra’s directorial comeback, ‘London Ishq’ co-starring Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. And now, it is learnt that the Rohit Shetty-SRK collaboration, titled ‘Chennai Express’, that was claimed to be an action packed project will actually be an on-the-go romance with a sprinkling of Shetty’s signature action sequences. Though it hasn’t been finalised yet, a source from the industry revealed that in all probability, the female lead would be Deepika Padukone. Shah Rukh, who started the year on a romantic note by kick-starting the shoot of Yash Chopra’s film in January, will now end the year in that strain. Rohit Shetty’s ‘Chennai Express’ will go on floors in October.
