Shah Rukh Khan will start shooting for his ambitious film Chennai Express much before the scheduled date. The film directed by Rohit Shetty was earlier presupposed to go at the floors in October-end but will now start from September 27.

A source informs, `SRK has given the dates for the film in September. This is a 20-day schedule, as he desires to be present when his cricket team Kolkata Knight Riders takes on other teams at this year's Champions League in South Africa. Earlier this year, KKR won the Indian Premier League for the primary time making them hot favorites to win the Champions League as well.

Shah Rukh desires to watch probably the most final matches and so has decided to be in South Africa during that point. So the film have been rescheduled to September end. A MAJOR set might be constructed at Bandra's Mehboob Studio from September 1 for the film.`

The source further said, `Rohit was also very happy to accomodate SRK as his sister is getting married on November 11 and he wanted time for the preparations. With the 20-day schedule wrapping up around mid October, Rohit gets time for the preparations.` Rohit remained unavailable for comment.
