Shah Rukh Khan has been shooting for Lion at Pune along with Nayanthara, Priya Mani and Rana Daggubati. The movie will see him don double roles and recently it was also revealed there is a bank robbery sequence, which is inspired from the famous Netflix show Money Heist. [Interestingly, Shah Rukh Khan did actually try to remake Money Heist in Hindi but it did not pan out].
SRK plays an officer with an intelligence agency in the film while his other role in the movie comes with negative shades. Reportedly, this villain character at one point assembles a team and organizes a La Casa De Papel inspired bank heist with the intelligence officer trying to stop him from the other end.
Lion also stars Sanya Malhotra, Sunil Grover, Yogi Babu among others and is produced by SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment.
