Shah Rukh Khan's self-imposed sabbatical is making the superstar's fans antsy but the actor on Tuesday said he is working on his next film, which he hopes will turn out to be a "hit".
The 53-year-old Bollywood star, who is yet to announce to his next project after the debacle of last year's "Zero", conducted a Q&A session with admirers and followers on Twitter under #AskSRK.
Asked when he would come up with another film, Shah Rukh reiterated he was working on a few scripts.
"Working on stuff. Will take some time once I get the material right," the actor said.
When a user quizzed what kind of a movie he was keen to make, Shah Rukh at his witty best, said, "The hit kind? Hopefully."
