Shahrukh Khan is today known as the ‘King of Romance’ all over the world. But he never wanted to be known like this. Shahrukh does not like romantic films or love stories at all. After doing ‘Pathan’ and ‘Jawaan’ he also told that he actually wanted to do action. He also started his career with similar films. ‘Darr’ and ‘Baazigar’ are the biggest examples of this.
Now Nikhil Advani, who directed ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’ for Shahrukh Khan, has also talked about this. He says that Shahrukh hates love stories. He always wanted to do action. That’s why he himself choreographed the basketball scene in ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’. Shahrukh had also forcefully inserted the action scene taking place at the station in DDLJ into the film.
“SRK hates love stories”
In the conversation on Cyrus Sage, Nikhil Advani talked about Shahrukh Khan. He told everyone about SRK’s love for action. Nikhil not only directed ‘Kal Ho Na Ho’, apart from this he was also associated with three films of Shahrukh as an assistant. These films were – Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Mohabbatein and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. During these films, there used to be talk about Shahrukh and his action. He says – Shahrukh used to tell me that Adi and Karan keep making only love stories, we will make a hardcore action film. Shahrukh Khan hates love stories.
Shahrukh himself choreographed these scenes
Nikhil told that Shahrukh’s favorite film is ‘Dil Se’. He keeps talking about a sequence of ‘Hey Ram’ and ‘Darr’. He also likes ‘Ram Jaane’ very much. Nikhil further told an interesting thing, which we have kept in the heading, and after reading which you have landed inside this news. Nikhil said, “If you watch ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ and ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’, you will find that Shahrukh has been given the credit for thrills in both those films. He himself choreographed the basketball scene of ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ because he wanted to do his part of the action. Then he was told that his entry in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ would be by helicopter. He felt like he was going to jump from a helicopter. They just had to get off it. That was Jaya Bachchan’s sequence.”
Well, Shahrukh is currently busy with his film ‘King’. His daughter Suhana is also there with him in this. Sujoy Ghosh is directing it.
