Ethan Hunt, James Bond in one film: Shah Rukh's final fantasy

Watching Ethan Hunt and James Bond together in one film is the final fantasy of Bollywood's King Khan. In a week that saw Tom Cruise's Hunt saving the world in Mission Impossible Rogue Nation, Shah Rukh Khan says he wants to see him and James Bond from the popular spy franchise in one film.

"Ethan Hunt and James Bond in one film...that's my Final Fantasy...then as Thomas Hardy wrote...'I can pass away and die' Ecstasy in Steroids," Shah Rukh posted on Twitter on Saturday.

James Bond is a fictional British Secret Service agent created in 1953 by writer Ian Fleming, and is a highly successful film series. The character of Bond was last portrayed by actor Daniel Craig in 2012 film Skyfall. Craig will return as Bond in the twenty-fourth James Bond film titled Spectre, which is slated to release on October 26 later this year.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh, 49, will next be seen in Rohit Shetty's Dilwale, which also stars Kajol, Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon. The film will release on December 18.
