Web Desk: Filmmaker Farah Khan has given Bollywood fans a clear ultimatum: her next movie will only happen if Shah Rukh Khan is part of it. Otherwise, she is happy staying away from films and focusing on her digital projects.

After years away from feature films, the director of Main Hoon Na, Om Shanti Om and Happy New Year opened up about her plans.

She says she is ready to return but only when the project feels absolutely right. For Farah, the “right” project begins and ends with Shah Rukh Khan.

Farah and Shah Rukh share one of Bollywood’s most successful partnerships. Their films have combined Farah’s extravagant, song-filled style with Shah Rukh’s star power, creating timeless hits.

Even their films that were criticized still drew huge audiences, showing the commercial magic of their collaboration.

During a recent shoot at actor Nakuul Mehta’s home in Mumbai, Farah discussed her comeback.

She said she will consider returning once her children start college, possibly by the end of the year. Fan requests online urging her to come back have also made an impact.

Mainstream Hindi cinema has been moving towards smaller, experimental, or streaming-first projects, but audiences still long for the grand, music-driven films Farah is known for. Her movies are built on spectacular sets, chart-topping songs, and pure entertainment.

Farah remains selective about her return. When jokingly asked if she might make films exclusively for YouTube, she replied that she would only return to cinema with Shah Rukh Khan.

Otherwise, she is happy waiting. Her YouTube channel, featuring celebrity guests and family moments, has also been creatively satisfying and financially rewarding.

Industry experts say Farah’s insistence on Shah Rukh Khan is smart business.

Their chemistry has always translated into box office success, and fans speculate whether the reunion might be a sequel or a brand-new story.
