Farah Khan to unveil SRK's dark side

8th April 2013

Choreographer turned director Farah Khan has been waiting long enough to start work on her next project titled 'Happy New Year' (HNY). She adds that this is her biggest project with actor Shah Rukh Khan, which will go on floors after SRK wraps up his 'Chennai Express' shoot.

"After he is done with his ongoing film, Shah Rukh needs to take a break for about a month and work on his look for HNY. We'll start with the film this year for sure," says Farah.

She further spoke about his looks in the film and stated that SRK will be seen in a new avatar altogether. "He will have a rugged look like never before, as his role is very intense. He'll play a dark hero, like Mr. Darcy type (a character from Jane Austen's novel, Pride and Prejudice). He'll also have a little stubble, more like a man you know," Farah adds.

Farah is also planning to bring out the Macho side of the actor. "He needs to build his body a little bit. I want to see him bare-chested all the time. I'm going to make sure that he is seen without his shirt a couple of times in the movie," Farah states.

Besides SRK, it is heard that the film also stars Abhishek Bachchan. His wife Aishwarya Rai Bachchan was also approached to be a part of the film, but she hasn't given a nod as yet.

Because this film is a multi-starrer, Farah says that making each role important is a tough job. "It's challenging to make each role interesting. It's not like Shah Rukh is the hero and four people are on the back. Hats off to him to want to do it so eagerly, as a lot of people want to see themselves solo on screen. It's going to be a fun ride for everybody," she adds.
