King Khan will be in seen in Golmaal series' hit director Rohit Shetty's remake of a hit '80s flick

Rohit Shetty and Shah Rukh Khan are set to come together for the remake of an '80s superhit comedy but with RS's consistent collaborator and buddy Ajay Devgn's blessings.

Says our B-Town source, "Rohit and Shah Rukh have had a few meetings over the last few months since the release of Golmaal 3.

Shah Rukh loved G3 and approached the filmmaker to direct his endorsement ads for his production house Red Chillies. Incidentally, Rohit is also on its board of directors.

When the two met, the megastar expressed a desire that the director and he come together for a feature film. SRK told Shetty that he wanted to do a comic family entertainer and asked him to look around for a script."

The Golmaal director zeroed in on a hit '80s comic entertainer. "Rohit and Red Chillies have approached the producer of the hit film for remake rights. Negotiations are in progress and he hopes to finalise the deal soon.

After that happens, the filmmaker and his team of his scriptwriters will begin work on the screenplay."

Rohit, being the straightforward person he is, didn't want close friend Ajay Devgn to hear about it from someone else.

After meeting Shah Rukh, he met AJ at Mehboob Studios where the latter was shooting and apprised him of the situation.

The source adds, "Ajay is never upset about Rohit working with different actors like Salman Khan, Akshay Kumar and Shah Rukh as he knows he can't suit every script and role.

In any case, Rohit starts shooting the remake of the Tamil super hit film Singam with Devgn in February."
