SRK Eyeing Akshay’s Cult Flop Sequel: Will It Work?

Recent rumors suggest that Farah Khan is planning a spin off set in the Tees Maar Khan universe. According to these reports, she has been working on the script since last November, and the idea actually came from Shah Rukh Khan himself. He reportedly wants to work on something lighthearted after his action-heavy role in the upcoming movie King.

This spin-off is likely to be a satire on the film industry and its inner workings. While there is not much information available about the story yet, it is said that the film will feature Akshaye Khanna’s character as a superstar and SRK as an aspiring filmmaker. The script is reportedly almost complete, and SRK is expected to hear the full narration in August 2026.

However, there are major questions about whether this project will actually work if it happens. Most people feel that fans will not watch anything related to Tees Maar Khan without Akshay Kumar. He was the soul of the original movie, so trying to build that universe without him seems like a mistake that might backfire. Another issue is how this fits into the Tees Maar Khan world, as a story about the inner workings of Bollywood feels more like a spin off of Om Shanti Om.

A few industry experts believe there is no truth to this rumor. Just a few months ago, Farah Khan herself confirmed that she would love to do a sequel to Tees Maar Khan with Akshay Kumar, so suddenly working on a spin-off without him does not seem to make much sense.
