Still from Pathaan
Shah Rukh Khan was presented as a romantic hero that generations of Indians fell in love with by YRF’s Aditya Chopra who produced and directed the iconic all-time blockbuster `Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge`. But little do people know that Aditya had promised SRK that he would do an action film with him! With `Pathaan`, Adi keeps his 30-year-old promise to his close friend Shah Rukh!
SRK reveals, “We were shooting for `Darr` and during the shoot all of us - Pam aunty, Adi, Juhi, we used to play scrabble at night. From the entire unit, I was very close to Adi, as we were of the same age and we had a good understanding. I have always been very fond of Adi.”
He adds, “One day, it was Adi`s birthday, and he asked me if I will do a film and I said `I would love to do it`. And then he narrated something where I would be an action hero. Because I was doing Darr as well, I also got excited about it. Then 3-4 years later, he called and said I am coming to narrate an action film. I really wanted to play an action hero because no one was offering me that genre.”
