Recently, a Twitter thread initiated an engaging conversation about our favorite celebs being paired on screen. And, we are talking about none other than our all-time favorite and phenomenal actors Shah Rukh Khan and Tabu. No one can deny that both of them are great actors, who have done a lot of exemplary work.
As per the recent reports, SRK is busy shooting for his upcoming movie Pathan with Deepika Padukone. And, Tabu was last seen in Bhool Bhulaiya 2. The movie has already made175 crores making it a Superhit and a big success.
In the past, Tabu and SRK have been seen together in some films like “Main Hoon Naa“, where Tabu did a small cameo, and even in Om Shanti Om, where she came for the superhit song “Deewangi” with many other actors shown in the song. The couple also did a cameo in Sathiya while Vivek Oberoi and Rani Mukherjee were the lead. And, many netizens had a lot to say about this duo being launched together.
A tweet suggesting Bollywood cast them together in a movie ignited such serious conversation that the thread went viral in no time. And, the similar discussion was initiated on another popular media platform Reddit.

Some on Reddit said: “Even thinking about it can fire my heart from excitement … I wish directors and producers sometimes asks us about couples we want to see onscreen.” – Ok-Major2145; “Oh yeahhhh such a great combo. They both have the spunk. It would be gorgeous. Can’t wait… sending good thoughts :)” – Illustrious_Tie_8487; “Tabu was/is definitely underutilized. Absolutely loved her in BB2. But this casting needs a very strong script to kind of bring them together since they are from totally different genre.” – sins90skid
Manifesting a film starring @iamsrk and #Tabu ❤️

Netizens didn’t leave a chance to call out Bollywood for age-inappropriate casting:
SRK only works with actresses half his age because “actresses of his age don’t work” his words not mine

Some on Reddit said: “Won’t happen since the jodi doesn’t fulfill the 20y minimum age gap requirement for actors over 45.” – minussss; “Lmao, They’d rather make Tabu his mother than love interest.” – Organtrefficker; “How could they cast an actress only a few years younger than him and has aged better they will get a heart attack” – butwhyamidoingthis79; “Knowing BW she will be cast as a mother or sister.” – Alone-Illustrator-25
Netizens did suggest some plots too:
If SRK- Tabu movie finally happens some day then it gotta be with Kashyap or Raghavan, SRK plays a middle aged macho weared out guy who loves to drink and Tabu plays a Femme Fatale.

Some on Reddit said: “Tabu mereko kaise bhi chalegi. Kisike saath bhi. I want stories with older people..love stories bhi. – Ladidaaaaagh; “Absolutely. I’m not saying young romance is bad. But i just don’t like that genre much. Let’s have something for everyone. Tabu-SRK or Mads-SRK in a mature romance or some family drama. Non pretentious wala. – Ladidaaaaagh; “How about Indian remake of money heist and them as proffesor and rackel…? – yajdq7; “Farhan should cast her in Don as his opponent. A character that, for once, outruns Don. – Ashysh; “Something like Veer Zaara second part !!!” – Kraittt
Veer-Zara (2004) would have been perfect for this pairing. Tabu would have killed with that age-progression look in VZ. pic.twitter.com/6TjR0x4Uf5

Some also shared why it would be a terrible idea:
Some on Reddit said: “I don’t think SRK stand a chance in front of Tabu’s acting if they’re ever paired together lol…In DTPH, SRK couldn’t match Madhuri / Karishma’s acting skills as both were well-experienced and serious actresses. He can only flair with newcomers like Kajol (Baazigar) , Deepika (Om Shanti Om), Alia (Dear Zindagi), Twinkle Khanna (Badshaah) etc….Tabu can be only paired with someone like Irrfan Khan, Manoj Bajpai or Nawazuddin Siddiqui caliber…..SRK definitely has good acting skills over multiple decades of experience, but he is still missing serious acting skills like Irrfan Khan.” – slickdeal1
We are also very eager to watch this super duo together. What do you think? Tell us in the comments below.
