While there isn’t any official announcement yet, the actor will reportedly make his digital debut on Disney+ Hotstar. Shah Rukh recently appeared in a promotional video by the streaming service.

Bollywood Hungama reported that a source confirmed that Shah Rukh Khan has signed a web series which will exclusively stream on Disney+ Hotstar. Further details about the web series haven’t been revealed.
