Jaideep Recalls Conversation With SRK

Jaideep called me and he said, ¡®Agar aap busy nahi hain thodi si baat karni hai, Shah Rukh bol raha hoon (Would you have a moment to chat, this is Shah Rukh)¡¯. I replied, ¡®Agar mujhe heart attack aaya, uske zimmedaar aap honge (You will be responsible if I get a heart attack)¡¯.¡±

Shah Rukh was gracious on set, according to Jaideep, who also collaborated with the actor on the 2017 movie Raees. Jaideep also recalled how brief their time together was.

¡°I was fortunate enough to work with him in a very small part in Raees. It just happened; somebody else was cast in that role, and I was finalised at 11:30 in the night. Call time was 7 the next morning. I worked with him for four days, and it was the most amazing experience. You can¡¯t describe working with Shah Rukh Khan, you have to experience it. The way he treats you, the way he talks to you, it¡¯s so mesmerising. He remembers everything; the day he called me, he was talking about Raees.¡±

Jaideep admitted that filming with Shah Rukh was the only time he had ever been star-struck and that he had been 'slow' during their first take.

Vijay added, ¡°We are living in his shadow. Everything about the man is so inspiring. He¡¯s set a benchmark right now which only he can cross, as a person, as an actor, as a star. I can count every time I¡¯ve met him, it¡¯s so significant, even if it¡¯s a five-second meeting or a 10-second handshake. You remember. He touches your heart.¡± he said as per Indianexpress.

Kareena Kapoor Khan played the protagonist in Jaane Jaan, a Netflix original movie that was based on the Japanese book The Devotion of Suspect X. It debuted around the same time that Shah Rukh's Jawan, which went on to gross Rs 1100 crore globally, was breaking box office records all over the world.
