Mammootty, Mohanlal, Aashiq Abu with Shah Rukh Khan
Aashiq Abu responded to the rumours over his movies with Shah Rukh Khan, Mohanlal and Mammootty. He was responding to the questions in an interview ahead of the release of his new movie, 'Naaradan'.
Aashiq reportedly had visited Shah Rukh Khan at his residence in Mumbai with scriptwriter Syam Pushkaran to discuss a movie plan. Their selfie had gone viral. Ashiq confirmed the visit.
The meeting with Shah Rukh Khan was to discuss an idea for a movie with him. But the concept requires more time to develop as a script. Meanwhile, the Covid lockdown delayed scheduled works and caused a lag in the project. Syam Pushkaran is the scriptwriter for one more project with Mammootty in the lead and this movie will also take more time to be accomplished.
