Director-producer Aanand L. Rai, who is ready to start
shooting for his next directorial venture starring actor Shah Rukh Khan, said
that he did not cast Shah Rukh Khan because of his fame but for the demand of
the role.
Rai, who visited 10th NFDC Film Bazaar here in Goa, told,
"I always cast an actor based on the demand of the character. Casting Shah
Rukh Khan is the demand of the role exactly the way it applied on Dhanush to
play Kundan in 'Raanjhnaa' or Kangana Ranaut to play Tanu. It was never about
making a film with a superstar."
Questioned about Shah Rukh Khan's character, Rai told,
"All I can promise my audience is that it's a well-crafted story and after
watching the film they will understand why Shah Rukh was suitable to play the
role. As a director I always want my actor to discover something within, and I
know it will happen to him as well."
