Anushka Sharma, Shahrukh Khan to share screen space for the third time for Imtiyaz Ali's next

The speculation over the female lead in Shah Rukh Khan's film with Imtiaz Ali has been put to rest. The makers have announced that Anushka Sharma has been roped in for the plum role.

The film will mark the third time that Anushka Sharma will share screen space with SRK - after Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and Jab Tak Hai Jaan. The film will see Shah Rukh play the character of a tour guide. However, details about Anushka's character in the film are still under wraps.

The movie is expected to go on floors by the end of July. A major chunk of the film will be reportedly shot at Budapest, London and Punjab. The feel-good film will chronicle the life of SRK's character as he undergoes a journey of self-discovery.

The music of the film will be composed by Pritam. The Red Chillies Entertainment production will hit the screens in 2017.

Apart from Imtiaz Ali's film, Shah Rukh is also expected to start shooting for his films with Aanand L Rai and Aditya Chopra. The projects will see the superstar play the characters of a little person and a warrior, respectively.
