SRK said that the team will start filming the project next month.

"I think we will start shooting from March 21 and it will go on for five-six months or maybe take some more time," he said

As per reports, the film is titled "Bandhua" but Shah Rukh said the team is yet to zero in on the title.

"We are still working on the title. It's ('Bandhua') the name of some other film. But by March 21 we should start working or maybe 10-15 days here and there as I have to finish.
