Times readers Get FREE $30 to spend on Amazon, Walmart… For someone who is generally seen in only one movie a year (and very rarely in two a year), Shahrukh Khan would have quite a few goodies to offer his fans in 2014-2015. In a span of 12 months, he would be bringing on Happy New Year, Fan and Raees.

"That's true," confirms a source, "While Happy New Year is being planned for Diwali 2014 release (October), Raees has picked Eid 2015 (September) as its arrival. In the interim period, his Fan would release as well. Rumours of a Christmas 2014 release have already started floating around."

This is a rare scenario as it was way back in 2006-2007 when something like this had occurred.

"At that time, Shahrukh Khan was seen in four films in 15 months time period, what with Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Don, Chak De! India and Om Shanti Om arriving in quick succession between August 2007 and November 2007. Ever since then, he has slowed down," an insider adds.

While he was consumed with the making of Ra.One for the longest duration, his last biggie Chennai Express too was in the making for long. However, Shahrukh is pretty much making for the lost time by giving a go ahead to multiple films.

"The beauty of these films is that not just they have reputed makers on board, they also belong to multiple genres," an insider adds, "Happy New Year is quintessentially Farah Khan with all around entertainment. Raees is an action film set in Gujarat with Shahrukh playing a bootlegger and Farhan, a policeman. On the other hand Fan is expected to be a sweet-n-nice story of a fan with director Maneesh Sharma bringing his realistically commercial style into play."

The countdown has begun for these films, what with Happy New Year already in its second schedule, Fan beginning in May 2014 and Raees going on floors a couple of months down the line. As for Shahrukh fans, it is going to be a period of high anticipation.
