Pre-production on SRK, Alia's next going on 'full steam'

Filmmaker Karan Johar, who will co-produce Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and actress Alia Bhatt's upcoming untitled film, says the pre-production of the highly anticipated project is going on in full steam.

While there were reports stating that the Gauri Shinde-directorial might get shelved due to creative differences between the makers, Karan has denied such rumours stating that the principal photography of the movie will commence from middle of January.

Karan, who will be co-producing the film under his Dharma Productions banner along with Hope Productions and Shah Rukh's Red Chillies Entertainment, took to Twitter on Tuesday to share the news with his fans.

"@gauris film with @iamsrk and @aliaa08 commences principal photography middle of January! Pre production is on full steam now! Exciting," Karan tweeted.

While, Shah Rukh and Alia are yet to begin shooting for the film, both the actors have big films in their kitty as of now.

Shah Rukh, who has films like "Dilwale", slated to release on December 18, "Raees" and "Fan".

Alia, on the other hand, who was last seen on the silver screen in "Shaandaar", will be soon feature in "Udta Punjab" and "Kapoor and Sons".
