We know that Shah Rukh Khan will be playing the role of a dwarf in his upcoming film with Aanand L Rai, Zero. It has now come to light that the actor will start shooting for his next, tentatively titled Salute, from September, much ahead of Zero's release.

Salute will feature Shah Rukh donning the role of Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian citizen to travel to space. Official announcements about the principal cast and crew of the film are expected soon. 

Zero, on the other hand, is progressing at a brisk pace. The film, co-starring  Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, will feature Salman Khan in a cameo role. The Himanshu Sharma-musical is slated for release on December 21.
