Shah Rukh Khan is known to be a generous producer, often showering his directors and co-actors with gifts. It wasn’t different on the sets of producer Aditya Chopra’s Pathaan that marks the superstar’s return to the big screen after over four years. After he wrapped up the shoot of the spy thriller, the actor gifted books to some members of the technical team —including production designer Rajat Poddarr, cinematographer Satchith Paulose, and associate director Abhishek Tiwari—as a mark of his appreciation.
Each book was chosen personally by Khan, keeping in mind the taste of the technician. Poddarr, who had previously worked with the actor in Yes Boss (1997), reveals that he was gifted The Cinema of Satyajit Ray penned by Bhaskar Chattopadhyay. “When the team was celebrating my birthday during Pathaan’s shoot, I told SRK that I first worked with him in Yes Boss, and showed him a picture [from the set]. SRK was so thrilled that he showed the picture to everyone on the sets. Since I am a Bengali and a fan of Ray’s work, he chose this book for me. I found it a thoughtful gesture coming from a superstar like him,” says Poddarr.
