There have been talks about the biopic of legendary poet and lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi for about a decade now. Ace director Sanjay Leela Bhansali has shown interest and considered making the film. There have been rumors about various actors being considered for the lead role. Abhishek Bachchan, Irrfan Khan, Farhan Akhtar well all in talks about playing Ludhianvi at different points of time.

According to recent reports, Shahrukh Khan's Red Chillies Entertainment is willing to make the film and fans are speculating whether or not King Khan will play the lead as well. Jasmeet Reen, who is the writer-director of the film avoided the topic when asked about Shahrukh Khan's involvement in the project.

While it is still not confirmed if Shah Rukh Khan will play the role of the poet himself or simply produce the biopic, it'd be amazing for fans to watch King Khan reciting poetry.
