After playing a dwarf in Aanand L Rai’s Zero, what better than a larger than life revenge saga full of drama and action! Buzz has it the Baahubali writer, KV Vijayendra Prasad has already scripted a special story for Shah Rukh Khan, keeping his status and acting skills in mind. The two have even met recently, after Prasad flew in from Hyderabad for a narration with SRK.
While there has been no word yet on the status of that meeting, insiders feel Shah Rukh could well give the film the nod. Prasad is known to be an exceptionally gifted writer, having already proved his credentials with the scripts of blockbusters like Bajrangi Bhaijaan, Baahubali: The Beginning and Baahubali: The Conclusion. Kangana Ranaut's upcoming period film Manikarnika: The Queen of Jhansi has also been penned by him. Also in the pipeline are the sequels of Anil Kapoor's social drama Nayak and Akshay Kumar's action flick, Rowdy Rathore. Will SRK greenlight his project as well? Well, there are many pairs of fingers crossed on that one!

Khan recently received a humanitarian award in Davos for his work in championing the rights of women and children. He was presented with the Crystal Award at the launch of the World Economic Forum in the Swiss Alps, chosen for his work with the Meer Foundation which supports female victims of acid attack.
In an interview he said that the current wave of women speaking out about inequality “makes you aware, that the time has come that you can’t take a few things for granted, especially the categorisation of humanity. He also pointed out, “I’ve said this before and I’ll say it again, I think biological difference inequality is extremely primitive and extremely stupid if I may say so.”
Maintaining that he was “inspired” and “extremely humbled” to receive the award, he praised all those who he claimed do more of the “real work” on the ground than he does. “It is awkward for me to say but the honest truth is I fortunately always become the poster boy of all the things that I do and I am not really doing the most,” he said in his usual self-deprecating style.
