Dabangg Director Abhinav Kashyap Chasing SRK For His Next
Abhinav Kashyap made his Bollywood debut with a splash. Not only did he bag Salman Khan as the leading man, their collaboration Dabangg went on to become the biggest hit of 2010.

With just one film, Abhinav became the most sought after director. The stakes were high and then he announced Besharam. With a cast of Ranbir, Rishi and Neetu Kapoor, this film was touted as a blockbuster in the making.

But when the film released in 2013, it was panned by critics and audiences alike and was roundly declared a box-office failure.

And thus Abhinav's Bollywood journey hit a major roadblock. And three years after Besharam, he is back again with a script.

And this time he is chasing another superstar, none other than Shah Rukh Khan.

This script was supposed to be Abhinav's second film after Dabangg but eventually it was Besharam which went on floors before.

And after that fiasco, he has returned to the script and approached Shah Rukh. Abhinav requested a meeting and Shah Rukh summoned him to his office.

A source told SpotboyE.com that Shah Rukh has gotten a narration from Abhinav but not given it a nod yet.

If Shah Rukh says yes, the yet untitled film will roll in 2017.

Fresh from the success of Dear Zindagi, Shah Rukh has a jam-packed schedule for 2017. He has two big ticket releases lined up for the next year, Rahul Dholakia's action thriller Raees and Imtiaz Ali's romance which has the tentative title, The Ring.
