KJo's revelation was heralded by a teaser tweet:
On Tuesday, SRK was spotted making a business call at Karan Johar's office.
Talk of a new SRK-KJo film has fed the rumour mill for a while, the excitement abating only slightly when it emerged two weeks ago that there was indeed a film together in the works but that both men would produce, rather than Karan Johar direct SRK as he has in hugely successful films such as
Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and
My Name Is Khan.
Karan may not be directing but SRK starring will likely churn up renewed excitement.
