Fans flooded the comments section, expressing eagerness for a potential collaboration between Johar and Shah Rukh Khan once again. Urging for another project with SRK comments like "One more with SRK please!!" and "PLEASE BRING BACK SRK AND KAJOL!!!!!" represented the passionate desire of fans to have the legendary pair reunited on television.

In a noteworthy manifestation last October, Johar expressed his aspiration to work with SRK and Kajol, stating, "Working with them would be a dream.And I hope that the story I write will be able to justify their legendary existence. That's what I hope occurs. It's like working with family when you are with them."

Reports emerged in November suggesting Johar's plans for an action-packed venture featuring Shah Rukh Khan and Ranveer Singh. The filmmaker, known for his diverse cinematic repertoire, aims to venture into the action genre alongside Khan, marking a significant departure from his previous directorial endeavors.

Johar and Shah Rukh Khan share a longstanding collaborative history, having delivered numerous successful films together, including "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai," "Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna," and "My Name Is Khan." Their partnership has been celebrated for its cinematic brilliance and enduring legacy in Bollywood.

Furthermore, Johar's directorial venture last year, "Rocky Aur Rani Ki Prem Kahani," garnered widespread acclaim. Starring Alia Bhatt, Ranveer Singh, and a stellar ensemble cast, the film resonated with audiences, earning over Rs 350 crore at the Indian box office, further solidifying Johar's stature as a prolific filmmaker in the industry.
