Farah Khan Directorial Comeback: New Film with Shah Rukh Khan Announced for 2026.

Wait, did you guys see the news? I’m literally shaking right now because Farah Khan finally confirmed she’s coming back to directing! It’s been like... a decade? Since Happy New Year in 2014, she hasn’t directed a single movie, but the wait is finally over.

She basically "dropped the bomb" during a vlog at actor Nakuul Mehta's house. I was watching it and she was so casual about it, but then she said the one thing we’ve all been waiting for.

The Big Update

Farah said she’s planning to start her next film at the end of this year. She mentioned how her kids (Czar, Diva, and Anya—wait, I think it's Anya, not Divya? My bad!) are all heading off to college in the U.S. soon. Since they’ll be busy with economics and AI stuff, she’ll finally have time to get back behind the camera.

There's even a whole internet petition called #WapasAaoFarahKhan that she's seen. It’s honestly so wholesome that she's doing this for the fans.

The SRK Condition

But here is the "catch" (if you can even call it that): she made it super clear that she will only do it with Shah Rukh Khan. She literally said:

"If I do, I will do it with Shah Rukh! Otherwise, I will wait and do YouTube."

I mean, can you imagine a Farah Khan movie without SRK? Tees Maar Khan happened, and... well, let’s just say we prefer the Main Hoon Na / Om Shanti Om energy!

A Couple Quick Facts (I think these are right lol):

The YouTube Side Quest: She isn't quitting her vlogs! She joked that she needs the YouTube money to pay for her kids' expensive college fees. Honestly, relatable.

SRK’s Schedule: King Khan is currently super busy with his movie King (with Suhana Khan!), which is supposed to come out late 2026. So they probably have to sync their calendars.

The Cast Rumors: I saw some tweets saying everyone might be in it—Deepika, Abhishek, even Rani Mukerji? But that might just be fans being over-excited.

It’s just so crazy to think we might get another "masala" blockbuster soon. We really need that fun, chaotic Bollywood energy back in theaters.

Would you like me to look up if SRK has reacted to her "ultimatum" yet? I can check if there's any official word from Red Chillies!
