SRK will be seen as a Dwarf in Anand L. Rai's next movie. This won't be the first time an Indian actor will be seen playing a Dwarf. Singeetam Srinivasa Rao's 1989 film Apoorva Sagodharargal (Dubbed in Hindi and released as Appu Raja) saw Kamal Haasan play the role of a dwarf.  The film stars Kamal Haasan in three roles, as a mechanic, a circus clown who is a dwarf and a police officer.

SRK's next movie with Anand L. Rai is not yet titled nor do we have the official release date. The movie also stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif along with Deepak Dobriyal and Mohd Zeeshan Ayub, both seen in Mr Rai's Tanu Weds Manu Returns. Bollywood superstar Salman Khan will make a special appearance, playing himself.

SRK's portrayal of a Dwarf will highly be associated with VFX. As per the reports in DNA, a source revealed, “Wherever Shah Rukh Khan will shoot his scenes, there will be holes drilled on the platform into which the actor will get in. It is done to keep his height true to the script’s demand. ” Now you know what efforts go while making a character real and this piece of information might make you think twice before criticizing any film! The source also further reveals, “His look will be a mix of VFX and props. It is used in the West and will now be put to use in this film as well
