Last year, a huge buzz was created with reports that actor Shah Rukh Khan might play a role in Hollywood filmmaker Martin Scorsese\u2019s Xtrme City. But when Shah Rukh refused to confirm it, the news died down. <\/p>\n
Now, after several months, the actor says he\u2019s keyed up about the project and is keen to meet Scorsese. \u201cI had been very caught up with RA.One, Don 2 and then I straightaway got into Yashji\u2019s film. So, I could not take any time off for Xtrme City. I haven\u2019t spoken to anyone for a long time (regarding the project). A couple of days back though, I was informed that I need to send an email (about the film),\u201d<\/strong> says Shah Rukh. He adds, \u201cYes, maybe when I am in the US next time without facing many problems (laughs), I plan to go and meet Mr Scorsese to see what development has happened to it. I haven\u2019t been in touch with Mr Scorsese. But I am sure it will be an interesting film whenever we start it. It\u2019s not a project that you can start immediately without thorough preparation,\u201d he says. <\/p>\n To be produced by the multiple Oscar-winning Scorsese, Xtrme City is to be directed by screenwriter Paul Schrader of Taxi Driver and Raging Bull fame. The film is a cross-cultural thriller, a tale about two men from radically different worlds. While SRK is likely to essay the role of an underworld gangster, makers are trying to rope in Hollywood superstar Leonardo DiCaprio to play a New York cop. SRK\u2019s friend Mushtaq Sheikh has co-written the script of the film. <\/p>\n SRK also confirms plans to make a sequel to his last year\u2019s RA.One. \u201cYes, I want to make RA.One 2. I believe that our company has the best VFX unit in India. It would be a big waste if we don\u2019t utilise it to push the parameters of what we do in India. <\/p>\n At this point, I don\u2019t have a story but last night, I was sitting in my new office and thought, \u2018we have to make it (sequel).\u2019 So inshallah, once I come up with the story that can take it (story) forward, I will take it up,\u201d says the actor.<\/p>\n https:\/\/www.hindustantimes.com\/Entertainment\/Bollywood\/Now-SRK-heads-to-Hollywood\/Article1-854240.aspx<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Last year, a huge buzz was created with reports that actor Shah Rukh Khan might play a role in Hollywood filmmaker Martin Scorsese\u2019s Xtrme City.
