Shahrukh khan will play a cop (police) in madhur bhandarkar next movie "inspector ghalib".

Rumours of Shah Rukh Khan walking out from the much anticipated Rakesh Sharma biopic - Saare Jahan Se Achha have been doing the rounds since quite some time now. Although the writer of the film rubbished the speculations saying it's not true but considering there's no official clarification on the same as yet, the suspicion is only getting stronger. However, getting an all new twist in this tale, a latest report suggests that SRK is in fact considering to take up his first ever cop-based project with Madhur Bhandarkar, for his next film.

As a source close to a leading daily spilled the beans, "Cop films are doing well. Inspector Ghalib is the story of a cop who is up in arms against illegal sand mining in various parts of the country, and he takes on the sand mafia. And like every other Madhur film, this will not be a movie like a Simmba or a Singham. It will cock-a-snook at the issue and will tickle the underbelly of the system that supports illegal sand mining."

Adding further, another source revealed to Pinkvilla,  “Madhur Bhandarkar had a meeting with Shah Rukh Khan and narrated the script to him. SRK has liked it but he is yet to give his nod to the filmmaker. Since Shah Rukh has opted out of Saare Jahan Se Achcha, he is considering different roles and projects. Inspector Ghalib is one of them."

Interestingly, SRK had recently also hinted about wanting to play a cop during the Umang festival this year. Remember he had joked about not getting a single cop film in his career to which Ranbir Kapoor too had said that he will play the constable whenever SRK gets to play a cop in a film. Guess, the wish is finally coming true or is it too soon to comment?
