Shahrukh set for time off

Shah Rukh Khan is getting ready for some quiet time away from film sets so that he can spend some time with his family before he heads off to the US for three months to film for Karan Johar's Khan.

"Right now he is on the last schedule of Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi. We have a couple of days left in Mumbai after which we are going to Amritsar and that will wrap up the whole film. After that Shah Rukh will be doing promotional rounds for Billo Barber. He won't be filming for anything," informs a source.

Priyadarshan's Billo Barber is being produced by SRK's Red Chillies Entertainment and the actor is hoping to use his star power to push the film that also stars Irrfan Khan along with the King Khan.

"SRK has cleared his diary for all of September and October. Other than some promotion for the interviews, he has asked his manager to clear up his diary so he can be with his family. He is going to be away from the family for a long duration because Karan's film is going to be shot from start to finish in the US and in one non stop schedule," says the source.

"He plans to go away with Gauri and the kids for a week before he jets off to the US. He may not be home this year for Diwali so he wants to spend as much time before that at home. In fact he is hoping that Karan shuts shop in between around that time as Aryan and Suhana really enjoy Diwali. Lots of firecrackers are bought to the house by the Moranis for the kids to play with. So with Khan's schedule being planned for that time, SRK is making up for that before he takes off again," says the source.
