The latest buzz about the upcoming Rs 3 billion Magnum Opus from the Shankar-Rajini combo is that Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan has been approached to play the parallel lead. According to sources the scenario would be that Rajini will play the hero in Tamil while Shah Rukh will be the villain and in the Hindi version Shah Rukh would be the hero and Rajini the villain. Earlier it was reported that Aamir Khan and Vikram had been offered the role but it now looks certain that the two Mega Stars of Indian Cinema, Shah Rukh and Rajinikanth will combine onscreen under Shankar's direction to give a world class movie for fans. Official announcement regarding this is expected early next week.
