'He wants to be as close to Aryan as he can'

'Shah Rukh has always been a good father.'

Shah Rukh Khan is determined to spend as much time as possible with his elder son Aryan Khan who was incarcerated this October for alleged drug possession.

Now out on bail, Aryan has his father's full attention.

"Shah Rukh has always been a good father. He is now going to be an even better father," a close friend of the superstar confides to Subhash K Jha.

"He wants to be as close to Aryan as he can without without smothering him in attention," the friend adds.

Shah Rukh has informed all his producers that he won't shoot outside Mumbai for some time.

The shooting schedule in Spain for Shah Rukh's Pathan is now being relocated to Mumbai,

Shah Rukh's trusted personal bodyguard Ravi Singh is now being shared by father and son.

Not that Aryan needs security.

"He isn't going out much anyway," the family friend adds. "He is disinclined to party or meet friends at this point of time."
