Shahrukh Is In Talks With Singh To Play Awadh King

 Bollywood’s King Khan Shahrukh once played the emperor Ashoka in one
of his films. Now he may essay the character of an Awadh king. The
actor is in talks with a Paris-based Indian filmmaker Vijay Singh, who
is planning to make a film on an 18th century love story.
Singh is keen to rope SRK fin for the challenging role of the Nawab
of Awadh Naseeruddin Haidar who was supposed to romance a British girl.
Singh is known for making some critically acclaimed feature films such
as One Dollar Curry and Jaya Ganga. The movie titled The Opium Symphony
is based on Singh’s book titled ‘Whirlpool of Shadows’.
In an interview, Vijay Singh said, “I had a meeting with Shahrukh
regarding this film and he liked the script. So, I am going to approach
him to essay the role of Nawab, who was the ruler of Awadh from 1826-36.
The Nawab was fond of a British girl but their love was not in favor of
the opium traders at that time.”
If Shahrukh signs the movie, we can see him as a king on screen for the second time!
