Mumbai, May 24 (IBNS) After portraying multiple characters, from an Asperger's syndrome patient in My Name Is Khan to a scientist in Swades, Shah Rukh Khan is all set to play a dwarf in Anand L Rai's next film.

According to a report in Filmfare, the Tanu Weds Manu directer has confirmed the news.

Filmfare quoted Rai as saying, "Shah Rukh plays a dwarf and it is going to be a lot of hard work and patience.”

He also said that it is going to be a love story and added, "The film is a full-fledged love story or a family entertainer with lots of romance."

Stating his experience about meeting Khan, Rai said, "Meeting the man makes you believe that nothing can beat experience! He has seen life not just as an actor but also as a person. He is large-hearted, intelligent and has a great understanding of human beings. I am in love with him. It's the story of a man who is just three-feet-one-inch tall. Nobody understands ordinariness better than Mr Khan. I'm looking forward to seeing him in the dwarf avatar.”
