The interesting bit is that the film will release in the Christmas week, a period synonymous with Aamir Khan.
Shah Rukh reportedly plays a dwarf in the love story. While there were earlier reports of Katrina Kaif starring opposite Shah Rukh, Rai had dismissed them.
It would be interesting to see which actress bags this much anticipated film.
