The IPL was won, though understandably, the Kolkata Knight Riders’ owner continues to be ecstatic. But cartwheels and victory marches later, Shah Rukh Khan is back to doing what he does best — acting. And his first project is Yash Chopra’s directorial comeback. Shah Rukh confirms, saying,
“I’m back to (shooting) Yashji’s film with a 30-day schedule. We’ve already finished numerous work in a single of the sooner schedules (in London). We also had a small (shooting) stint of 4-5 days in Mumbai, and can probably shoot in Ladakh or some countryside. Mostly, though, the film is about in London.”
SRK’s co-stars within the film are Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
With Yash Chopra’s return, do we also see Shah Rukh return to his romantic-hero avatar?
“Yes, it’s a love story. Yashji makes wonderful love stories. This one has somewhat twist. Sometimes, I THINK that even supposing Yashji made a war film, it could have elements of love,” smiles the actor, who will sport a mild stubble for a element of the film. “I’ve always played my characters differently, so I don’t know if I'LL BE the standard romantic hero”
Working with Chopra, he says, is like “working in a house (production).” The film will see him paired with Katrina Kaif for the primary time, and the actor only has words of praise for his leading lady: “I really mean it after I say I learn so much from my co-stars, personally and professionally. Someone like Katrina is totally at the ball along with her scenes and method, and it teaches me to approach a scene slightly differently.”
Prod him for more information about the film, and Shah Rukh admits to having seen and loved portions of the film that experience already been shot.
“Inshallah, it’s turning out nice. Whatever we now have shot till date may be very interesting. It’s going to be a gentle, pleasant film with numerous great humour. And it gets emotionally intense wherever a love story should be,” he says.
From the sound of it, this belongs to the genre of romances SRK is known for.
