Karan Johar recalls meeting Shah Rukh Khan for the first time
Such is the friendship between Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar, that the latter says he doesn’t pay the biggest superstar in the country any money for working in his films. The extended cameo he had in Brahmastra did not earn him any money, nor did Karan charge for stepping in to direct 6 days of Ra.One.
But does Karan pay SRK in kind, with an expensive car or something? “No, none of that. I give him clothes, he loves clothes. With Shah Rukh, there is no such thing as a money exchange. I don’t think he has ever asked me for money even for a film he has done. Whatever is given in our contracts with Shah Rukh are ‘It was a pleasure working with you, thank you so much’ - and that’s the contract. There is no contract. We don’t have a contract with Shah Rukh,” Karan tells Mid-day during our Sit With Hitlist print and podcast series.
