![]() ![]() ![]() When you meet *the* Hema Malini, you go, ' kitni khoobsurat hain.' I think that was what Shah Rukh's reaction was. When I came into the industry, I was only 25 years old. Hema Malini speaks very dearly about Shah Rukh Khan and he spoke very dearly about her at the book launch. #Living with a superstar shah rukh khan full movieSantosh Sivan's insights were also interesting, of how he made Asoka a film which was not in the Shah Rukh Khan movie zone. And to decide to work with Shah Rukh and not Aamir ( in Josh) were insights you get. Mansoor Khan has given a great comparison of working with Aamir and Shah Rukh. He said that is what Kundan ji feels, so let it be. He says as an actor, he's not done great work. What I admire is that Subhash ji said what he had to say without mincing words and Shah Rukh never asked me to change it. S ubhash Ghai seems upset with Shah Rukh.

It's very magnanimous and truthful of Ramesh Sippy to say that he had such a talented actor and that he didn't do justice to him.Ī lot of filmmakers hinted about that. In the book Ramesh Sippy says he did not do justice to Shah Rukh Khan. I don't think today's generation would even know that Shah Rukh did films directed by Hema Malini, Ramesh Sippy and Ketan Mehta. Today, everyone associates him with Karan Johar, Rohit Shetty and Farhan Akhtar, but we don't know what the earlier directors feel about him and his journey. Talking to his earliest filmmakers like Aziz Mirza, Kundan Shah, Rajeev Mehra, Rahul Rawail and Ramesh Sippy was also interesting. The biggest thing about Yash ji's interview was his comparison of Amitabh Bachchan and Shah Rukh Khan and how both of them are different in their own ways and yet, so similar. He started his career in the 1950s, when Shah Rukh was not even born. He spoke about how their journey started, how they were looking for other actors for Darr, how Shah Rukh did it, how Shah Rukh was not happy with Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, not convinced about that role, how their friendship has grown.Īnother favourite is Yash Chopra because he is the senior-most filmmaker to have worked with Shah Rukh. So he requested Adi, told him this was a book on 25 years of his career, that he would like Adi to be a part of it. I went to Shah Rukh and said that everybody had been spoken to, but we can't have a book without Aditya Chopra. W hich director, do you think, had the most interesting things to say?Īditya Chopra is my favourite because it's rare that he talks about Shah Rukh or even meets a journalist. IMAGE: SRK and Kajol in Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge. I could not get in touch with Prem Lalwani, who directed Guddu and Shashilal Nair, who directed One Two Ka Four. Only three directors could not be a part of the book - Raj Kanwar ( who directed Shah Rukh in Deewana) passed away. Yes, all the directors with whom he has done lead roles. ![]() I have been a journalist and so it was exciting to interview filmmakers and understand what they thought about Shah Rukh. This is a unique book because nobody has thought of taking this route, talking to filmmakers. When I shared it with Shah Rukh, he was excited because nobody had ever thought about this. So to understand that man, you have to understand those characters.Īnd you understand those characters by talking to the makers of those films. If an actor has done 65 films and has played some 30, 35 characters, then all of those characters today make Shah Rukh Khan. I was doing a documentary on Shah Rukh, Living with a Superstar, for the Travel and Living channel.Īt that time, he said he leaves a part of himself in every character that he plays. Samar Khan, journalist and a filmmaker himself, tells 's Patcy N about his book, and the superstar. S amar Khan's book, SRK: 25 Years Of A Life reveals different sides of the superstar, as seen through the eyes of his directors.ģ0 directors have shared insights into SRK's life and craft. ![]()
