Shah Rukh Khan to start shooting astronaut Rakesh Sharma’s biopic ‘Salute’ next?

As we reported earlier that the 51-year-old Dangal actor is all set to star in his second biopic—based on India’s first astronaut Rakesh Sharma. The film, titled Salute, will also be co-produced under the actor’s banner (AKP) but later we found out that the actor has walked out of the film and another actor for the replacement will be out soon and little did we know is that Shah Rukh Khan has been approached for the protagonist role.

The latest reports suggest that Shah Rukh has been roped in to play the lead in Rakesh Sharma’s biopic titled ‘Salute’. King Khan has reportedly decided to commence the shoot in September 2018 in order to film some portions before he kick-starts promotions for ‘Zero’. It was only a while back that SRK stated that he hadn't signed any film apart from 'Zero'.

This makes us wonder if we will hear an official announcement any time soon.
