Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has decided on his next as a producer. According to a report in Mumbai Mirror, the actor is backing a film on the struggle of character actors in Bollywood titled Kaamyaab. The film stars veteran actor Sanjay Mishra in the lead. Deepak Dobriyal and Sarika Singh play prominent roles. The film, directed by Hardik Mehta, has already been to several film festivals, both abroad and within the country. It tells the story of an actor who begins his journey as an extra but rises to be acclaimed as an actor. Sanjay was thought to be a good fit as his own struggle is similar to that of the character.

The report says it was the character actor angle which appealed to Shah Rukh. The film’s director Hardik is currently directing Janhvi Kapoor and Rajkummar Rao-starrer, Roohi Afzana, where Janhvi has a double role.

Shah Rukh, meanwhile, has been in no hurry to sign his next film. His production company, Red Chillies Entertainment, is busy though. It will produce a film titled Bob Biswas, starring Abhishek Bachchan in the lead.
