It's Eid and we are invited to possibly one of the biggest Eid parties in Mumbai. At Shah Rukh Khan's Mannat. Dressed in a white pathani kurta and pyjamas, Shah Rukh Khan sits down for a casual chat. He addresses all our questions, answers most of them and reveals everything that you need to know about his next few films - with Imtiaz Ali, Aanand L Rai and Aditya Chopra. Over to him:

So what's happening on the work front?
I am starting two films. I had to take a small break because of my knee. And now because it's raining, it's paining as well. I am starting Imtiaz Ali's film with Anushka towards the end of August. Anushka was busy with Sultan and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil so we pushed the film's schedule a bit. We start that. Post that, sometime in November, I start Aanand Rai's film which has not been cast yet. Along with that, I am in talks with a lot of people with whom I am discussing. They're all great directors, great friends of mine but they haven't been confirmed yet. Imtiaz Ali's film isn't based on Guide. Aanand Rai's film has not been cast yet but yes, I do play a dwarf in the film. 

What about Gauri Shinde's film?
It's complete and it should release soon. 

And Aditya Chopra's film? 
I also read something about it on the net. We have been discussing few things with each other for a year now. But they aren't the same as it's being written about. 

Imtiaz has a different language to love in his films. What was it that convinced you to take it up? 
I know Imtiax for a long time, ever since he made his first film Socha Na Tha. I like him a lot. Whenever he makes a film, he tells me about it. He has narrated me his stories 'Love Aaj Kal', 'Rockstar'. I liked 'Jab We Met' and 'Highway'. He has always discussed his films with me as a friend and as a creative person. I only didn't know much about Tamasha. Then suddenly one day, he (Imtiaz Ali) said one day, 'I have a film for you'. I told him I am in happy zone, so want to do a happy film with him. He has a different language of love. It's a love story, but keeping my age in mind, it's not a young upbeat love story. He has a nice take on it. Hopefully, people will like it. 

Is it a conscious thing that you are more likely to play roles closer to your age?  
I played a 26-year-old in 'Fan'. It depends on the role. I should be playing age now as a character. I should not think I am 26 year old and not believe I am a 26 year old. I look 26, feel 26 and I am sexy as 26, but I should play as a character. 

Will you wrap up Imtiaz's film by November?
Yes, that's the plan. I begin Aanand Rai's film sometime in November. 

Will it be shot outside India?
A lot of it will be shot outside India but a portion of Imtiaz's film will also be shot in India itself.
