Despite rumours suggesting otherwise, sources close to Shah Rukh Khan say he's very much a part of filmmaker Aanand L Rai's upcoming directorial Rumour mills, of late, have been buzzing about Shah Rukh Khan's exit from Aanand L Rai's next because Eros International is on board as co-producers. Last month, the production-distribution company got the star's goat when it went to court, seeking to restrict single screen theatre owners from screening SRK's 'Dilwale', which clashed with its project, 'Bajirao Mastani'.

However, those close to SRK say he is very much part of the project, which was recently rumoured to have gone to Ranveer Singh. The film had earlier been offered to Salman Khan.


Says a source, `Shah Rukh is still a part of Rai's film. In fact, they met on Thursday evening to discuss a few things in the script. SRK is working out his dates and the official announcement will come after he signs on the dotted line.`

SRK and Rai remained unavailable for comment.
