Quoting sources, Mumbai Mirror reported that Hirani, who has previously directed movies like PK and Sanju, would stay true to his signature style and treat the relevant issue of immigration with a pinch of gentle humor.
The film will be shot in Punjab and Canada.
The source added SRK will play a jovial character, who'd make the audience laugh and cry through the movie.
The film, written by Hirani along with Kanika Dhillon and Abhijat Joshi, was set to start production in August. However, the coronavirus pandemic brought a change in the plan.
The movie requires a long outdoor shoot. Hence, the team is waiting for travel restrictions to be eased by the government.
If the situation improves, the film would go on floors by this year-end.

A source close to the film revealed, “Like all Raju films, it revolves around a serious, globally relevant issue and is treated with gentle humour. The story moves between Punjab and Canada. This guy is jovial, he’ll make you laugh and will get you emotional. Shah Rukh is growing his hair for the part.” The source also spoke about the shooting schedule saying, “The film requires a long outdoor shoot abroad and they will wait till travel restrictions are eased. If things get back to normal soon, it should kick off before the year ends.”
If the latest reports are anything to go by, King Khan will kick-start shooting for the Rajkumar Hirani directorial by the end of October 2020.
