Could it really happen or is SRK just humouring his fans?

Recently, in an interview with Hindustan Times, Shah Rukh Khan responded to speculations about the possibility of a triple Khan film (starring Shah Rukh, Salman and Amir Khan) with a noncommittal 'it might not be a problem'.

His answer was in reply to Farah Khan's earlier statement that "even god can't bring [the Khans] together, so I'm not even attempting that." The rumour began when director Sajid Nadiadwala expressed his desire to bring all three Khans on board for a film, but he soon clarified saying that is has yet to finalise such a project.

But fans are still clinging onto the hope that such a film will materialise one day.

"I think it’s difficult to do a three-hero film, especially when all the three heroes are leading mainstream actors," Shah Rukh Khan said in the interview. "But, I feel, it might not be a problem. All three of us are humble enough to understand that we are doing a film [together]. We have to choose a film in which all three of us are equal. We should do [a film like] Ghostbusters. That film has equal roles for all the three heroes."

Shah Rukh also went so far as to suggest how to raise money for a film that has to pay all three of them: a co-production by the Khans in question.

"But someone has to write an interesting script that we like," he said.
