Shah Rukh Khan to make Tamil debut as villain in Vijay Thalapathy’s 63?

The Badshah of Bollywood Shah Rukh Khan is all set to make his Tamil debut, recent reports suggest. The superstar, who was last seen in Zero, will reportedly be seen as a villain in Vijay Thalapathy’s 63. According to Filmfare, Shah Rukh Khan is the main villain in Thalapathy 63 but will enter the film only towards the climax.

The magazine quotes a source close to the Tamil film who revealed to a leading daily, "SRK has a prominent character that he's playing in Thalapathy 63. It's not like his other cameos. In fact, he is the main villain who comes in the picture only towards the climax. He has a good 15 minutes odd role, fighting Vijay. The makers wanted a leading face from the Hindi film industry to shoot for the role and when Atlee approached Shah Rukh for it, he agreed on principle to do it. It's a four-five day shoot and the team is figuring whether to film the scenes in Chennai or in Mumbai itself."

The Zero actor will soon shoot the scenes for Thalapathy 63. "It's a four-five-day shoot and the team is figuring whether to film the scenes in Chennai or in Mumbai itself," the source added.

Meanwhile, when Shah Rukh Khan was recently asked about his next project, SRK revealed that he hasn't decided yet. He will take a few months off to figure out his next film. As per now, he hasn't found that one exciting and scintillating script.

“I haven’t decided what I will do next. I thought I will take a few months off and try and work on what I want to do because it’s very important for me to be most excited about it. I work 16 hours a day, so if it doesn’t excite you in the morning, you should not wake up. At my stage, when I have worked in over 80 films, have done some satisfactory roles and have made a career out of what I do, I should be like I don’t want to get up and go if it’s not going to be an absolutely, stunning, scintillating and exciting day as an actor. So, right now I don’t have anything that stunning, scintillating and exciting, If I will have it, I will start working on it,'' he said in a recent interview to Chinese publication CGTN.
