The latest rumours say that Shah Rukh Khan’s next venture would be a remake of the Tamil superhit film Mersal.

The story of Mersal, which is a deviation from Jaadugar (1989), is about a doctor-cum-magician who exposes India’s medical industry and starred Thalapathy Vijay and Kajal Aggarwal in  the lead roles.  The trade was abuzz with a rumour that SRK would feature in the film with Atlee directing the Hindi-remake as well. Now sources close to the actor reveal that no such film is being made with SRK. “No, it is not true. Maybe they are trying to remake the film but there is no SRK in it,” informs our source. Mersal in Tamil is a slang for nervous or shocked.

SRK too has not announced any film project after the unexpected failure of his film Zero last year.
