Filmmaker Karan Johar is making possible what has so far seemed highly unlikely – the return of Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol as a couple on the silver screen.

If reports are to be believed, Karan Johar is ready to create a casting coup in his next movie, which is tentatively titled ‘Khan'. While it goes without saying that SRK will helm the cast of any K-Jo film, what comes as a pleasant surprise is that Kajol will team up again with SRK after many years.

SRK and Kajol have been a very hit Bollywood jodi and have given hits like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and the superhit Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge.

Karan Johar, who made Kajol make a cameo appearance in his last movie Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, reportedly told Kajol that he could not make his next movie ‘Khan' without her.

Grapevine has it that the dusky beauty has agreed to act in the film.

Kajol returned to acting last year after a long sabbatical with Kunal Kohli's film Fanaa in which she paired for the first time with Aamir Khan.

Karan Johar's next film will not just be a movie about relationships. Sources say it will raise certain social issues that are very relevant to contemporary times when Muslims find themselves under constant scrutiny in the west.

The protagonist of ‘Khan' will be a Muslim and the film's story will most likely be set in the US.
