Dilip Kumar to play Shah Rukh’s father

According to Shubha Shetty-Saha from DNA, it’s a well known fact that superstar Shah Rukh Khan is very fond of Dilip Kumar and his wife Saira Bano. In fact, many feel SRK’s acting is inspired by the legendary thespian’s style.

SRK himself had once mentioned that his mother always felt he looked like Dilip. And if that was not enough, Saira Bano herself went on record to say that if she and ‘sahib’ ever had a son, he would look exactly like Shah Rukh.

Now it looks like the time has come to translate those feelings onto the silver screen. According to sources, the producers of Dulha Mil Gaya - starring Shah Rukh, Sushmita Sen, Fardeen Khan, newcomer Ishita, Anuj Saxena and Vivek Vaswani - have approached the couple to play SRK’s parents.

Another interesting bit of news is that Kajol’s mom, Tanuja, also has a pivotal role in the film. The Ajay Devgan-SRK rivalry doesn’t seem to have affected the mom-in-law as yet!
