To promote his movie Bigil, director Atlee took to Twitter in an #AskAtlee session, fanning the flames of speculation around a potential collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan.

The Bollywood heartthrob, who hasn’t been seen on the big screen for over a year since Zero, has left fans anxious to know of his upcoming plans. Despite silence from the actor, there’s been a growing rumour about a prospective film of his with Atlee.

When a zealous fan questioned Atlee about the same in his Twitter Q&A session, his response sent the fandom into raptures.

Meanwhile, as the rumour continues to snowball, Atlee has his hands full with the promotion of Bigil, his big-budget Diwali bonanza, starring Kollywood icon Vijay and actress Nayanthara.
