In what could be a game-changing development in the Bollywood–Tollywood landscape, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has reportedly taken an advance from renowned Telugu production house Mythri Movie Makers, strongly hinting at an upcoming collaboration on a large-scale pan-India entertainer.

After delivering two massive blockbusters—Pathaan and Jawan—SRK has been in discussions with Mythri, a banner celebrated for its high-budget productions and commercial appeal. According to a reliable industry source, “Shah Rukh Khan accepted an advance amount from Mythri Movie Makers last week and has given them his word that he will do a film with them.”

Sources close to the actor reveal that he was particularly impressed by Mythri’s grand production values and aggressive promotional tactics, which were prominently visible during the buzz surrounding Pushpa: The Rule. Their Bollywood debut film Jaat, starring Sunny Deol in a massy action avatar, reportedly further piqued SRK’s interest.

With an already impressive track record that includes collaborations with major Telugu stars like Chiranjeevi, Prabhas, Jr NTR, Ram Charan, and Mahesh Babu, Mythri Movie Makers is now looking to make a strong mark in Hindi cinema. “They’re known for mounting star-driven films with top-tier directors and uncompromising budgets. Their growing success signals strong competition for leading Bollywood banners,” the source added.

The production house recently expanded into Tamil cinema as well, producing Good Bad & Ugly with Ajith Kumar, which further reflects their pan-Indian ambition.

While Sukumar—known for the Pushpa franchise and a close collaborator of Mythri—is among the top contenders to direct the SRK project, the final decision is yet to be made. “The director will be chosen mutually by Shah Rukh Khan and the producers to ensure perfect creative synergy. They’re also in the process of locking a top actress and crew for the film,” the source revealed.

With SRK’s star power and Mythri’s proven pan-India appeal, this collaboration promises to be one of the most anticipated projects in the coming years.
