Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan played the ‘antagonist hero’ in his early films like Darr, Baazigar and Anjam, and was appreciated by fans and critics. The actor was seen in the avatar – in the Don series. After a number of failures in recent times like FAN, Raees and Zero, where he played grey characters, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to be playing a villain in his next film, Thalapathy 63 – in his Tamil cinema debut.

The actor is looking for his Tamil debut to bring him back in the reckoning at the box office, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to play the villain in Vijay’s Tamil film Thalapathy 63. It was speculated that Shah Rukh Khan will be doing a cameo in the film. But recent reports on April 23 say that Shah Rukh Khan is to play the villain in Vijay’s upcoming film. Thalapathy 63 is directed by Atlee Kumar.

It seems like Shah Rukh Khan is taking a cue from his Bollywood contemporary Akshay Kumar, who played the main villain in Rajinikanth’s 2.0, which was the second film in the Robot aka Enthiran franchise. Akshay Kumar could venture in Tamil cinema as a villain, now we have Shah Rukh Khan in the same role.

According to Filmfare, Shah Rukh Khan is the main villain in Thalapathy 63 but will enter the film only towards the climax. The magazine quotes a source close to the Tamil film who revealed to a leading daily, “SRK has a prominent character that he’s playing in Thalapathy 63. It’s not like his other cameos. In fact, he is the main villain who comes in the picture only towards the climax. He has a good 15 minutes odd role, fighting Vijay. The makers wanted a leading face from the Hindi film industry to shoot for the role and when Atlee approached Shah Rukh for it, he agreed on principle to do it. It’s a four-five day shoot and the team is figuring whether to film the scenes in Chennai or in Mumbai itself.”

Shah Rukh Khan was also seen with Atlee Kumar during an Indian Premier League (IPL) 2019 match. The rumours suggest that Thalapathy 63 will star SRK in the Hindi remake of Atlee’s film Mersal (the original also starred Vijay), to be directed by him, of course.

SRK fans can celebrate, who saw poor rating of his film Zero.
