The actor is soon to make a comeback with his upcoming film Pathaan. Actress Deepika Padukone will also share screen with King Khan in the upcoming movie. Deepika Padukone shared the experience of working with Shahrukh Khan again after a long time and said “working with him is always great. “We just have one schedule left, but working with him is always great. I feel at home, I feel safe, I feel secure that he’s just the person he is. Even Siddarth Anand (Pathan’s director), for that matter, I’ve worked with before and I think he has evolved so much as a director since I worked with him 10 years ago. So, yes, I think that working with SRK is something I look forward to. He is my safe place,” Deepika told India Today.
