EXCLUSIVE: After King, Is Shah Rukh Khan teaming up with Mythri? Here's the real truth
Over the last few days, there have been several reports on the collaboration between Shah Rukh Khan and Mythri Production on a mega-budget entertainer, designed for the big screen. There's also speculation about the probable directors for the film, with names like Sukumar coming in the forefront. However, Pinkvilla has exclusively learnt that there is no truth to these reports, and Shah Rukh Khan is not teaming up with Mythri Production any time soon.
A source close to the actor confirms, ' Shah Rukh Khan is presently focusing and putting all his energies on King. He will take a call on his next after King by the end of this year. He has not done any meeting with Mythri, so the matter of greenlighting a script doesn't even come into the picture.' The source further informed that Shah Rukh Khan will be shooting for King till the first quarter of 2026, and will start the process of locking his next towards the end of 2025.
'There are multiple scripts, multiple films that have been offered, and SRK will take a call on his next towards the end of 2025. Interestingly, none of them are by Mythri,' the source adds. As reported by us before, the two films in consideration at the moment include Pathaan 2, and a probable sequel to Main Hoon Na, but he could do either of the two and something else. 'However, as mentioned above, the energies are presently invested in King. The Siddharth Anand directorial is being mounted on a humongous scale, with Shah Rukh Khan flexing his aura in the larger-than-life avatar like never before. As a gangster, the audience would get to see the swag he carried as Don, but this time in a much massier way,' the source concludes.
Talking of King, the film rides on a strong ensemble led by SRK and Deepika Padukone with Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan, Arshad Warsi, Anil Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat, Rani Mukerji, Abhay Verma, and Jackie Shroff in key roles. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates.

Housefull 5 Week 1 Worldwide Box Office: Akshay Kumar led comedy-ensemble grosses an acceptable Rs 179 crore globally in 7 days
Housefull 5, the newest chapter in the popular comedy franchise, has just completed its first week at the box office. The film, starring Akshay Kumar, has collected Rs 179 crore gross worldwide in seven days. In India, it has earned Rs 113.25 crore net, translating to Rs 136 crore gross. Internationally, the movie has grossed USD 5 million, or Rs 43 crore gross, to its tally. While these numbers are decent, the film's trend raises concerns. Its massive budget and the need to hit Rs 275 crore gross worldwide for breakeven add pressure. The film opened well over the weekend. Fans of the franchise turned up in good numbers, though the weekend footfalls were slightly lower than the previous Housefull films. Internationally, Housefull 5 performed even better, drawing crowds in markets like the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Fiji and Gulf countries. The star-studded cast, also including Riteish Deshmukh, Abhishek Bachchan, and others, gave the movie a solid push. However, the weekdays are telling a different story. Monday and Tuesday saw a decent hold, but collections started to dip noticeably by Wednesday. The last two days of the week were particularly tough, with the film struggling to maintain momentum. This downward trend is a red flag. For a big-budget film like Housefull 5, a steady run is crucial. The movie needs to bounce back strongly in its second weekend to stay on track. Sustained collections over the next couple of weeks will decide its fate. The film's budget is also a major talking point. Housefull 5 is one of the most expensive comedies in Bollywood. Non-theatrical deals, including satellite, digital, and music rights, have provided some relief. Still, just breaking even won't be enough for a favorable verdict. The movie must gross around Rs 275 crore worldwide to just cover its costs. With Rs 179 crore in the bank after week one, it's halfway there. But the slowing trend could make the remaining journey tricky. There's no doubt that Housefull 5 has found initial traction that many films these days don't get. The franchise's brand value, combined with its comic appeal, has worked in its favor. Yet, mixed word-of-mouth might be impacting its weekday performance. For the film to emerge as a success, it needs a big jump in collections starting Friday. If it can replicate the 2nd weekend magic of the previous Housefull movies, and hold steady afterward, a respectable final total is possible. All eyes are now on the second weekend. Housefull 5 faces moderate competition from Hollywood titles but it has enough screens to make an impact. Can Housefull 5 come back strong in its second weekend? We shall know that very soon. Stay tuned to Pinkvilla for more updates on Housefull 5
