While one of Bollywood’s most successful actors, Shahrukh Khan is experiencing an ultimate high from his success of “Chennai Express” and upcoming film “Happy New Year,” it appears he has hit a bump in the road. The actor’s driver was recently arrested for raping a minor on Thursday.
Pintu Mishra was reportedly accused and taken into custody by the Bandra Police after he raped a 17-year-old at a guest house in Nalasopara railway station on June 20, on the pretext of getting her a job at Khan’s residence.
The victim worked as a domestic help at former model and actress Sangeeta Bijlani’s residence.
While we have yet to hear what Khan has to say about the incident, he has been busy working on his upcoming films such as “Happy New Year” and “Raees.”
SRK is currently wrapping up his latest film, “Happy New Year” and is gearing up to start filming “Raees” this fall.
“Raees,” which also stars Farhan Akhtar, is an action drama film set in Gujarat where King Khan plays a bootlegger while Akhtar plays the role of a cop.
The movie will be directed by Rahul Dholakia and is produced by Sidwani and Akhtar’s Excel Entertainment.
Even though details for the shooting has been declared, the lead actresses have yet to be confirmed. There have been rumors that Sonam Kapoor would play the leading lady, however, she has no free dates as well as Katrina Kaif.
The film is expected to start filming Nov. 1 and is slated to release sometime next year.
SRK has also started preparing for “Fan” and hinted that he will be playing the biggest fan himself in the forthcoming film, which begins shooting July 2014.
The actor started working on the film, showing off his new look created by special effects makeup artist Greg Cannom, who spent a considerable amount of time working on SRK’s new identity.
“We are attempting a never-seen before look for Shah Rukh which will be both challenging for us and exciting for the viewer,” said Maneesh Sharma, director of the film. “Understandably, this will be kept under wraps till the first look of the film is revealed.”
Cannom has been nominated for nine Academy Awards and won an Oscar three times for the looks he created in “The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,” “Mrs. Doubtfire” and “Dracula.”
