With four out of their five films flopping at the box office in 2007, Yash Raj Films has sent out an SOS call to their most successful star and the lead of their only super hit film for the year Chak De India, ShahRukh Khan.

Sources inform, “The Hindi film industry’s premium banner is keen not to have a repeat of 2007 in the coming year. The King Khan has had a 100% track record with them starting with Darr (1993) to their last release together Chak De India. As the planning for next year’s releases is underway, the Yash Raj head honcho Aditya Chopra is extremely keen on casting him in his next which he has been planning for long to direct.”

Shah Rukh is on a break presently and is likely to start work on his next, My Name Is Khan for Karan Johar in May. He has backed out of his commitments for Shankar’s Robot and Rajkumar Hirani’s next based on Chetan Bhagat’s novel Five Point Someone and has no other films on hand. The buzz is strong that the King Khan is about to meet the Yash Raj bosses over the coming days and discuss this project being planned with him.
