Filmmaker Imtiaz Ali's ability of telling love stories, his
affinity for travel and his fondness for adding a touch of Punjab to his movies
is reminiscent of the late filmmaker Yash Chopra, tells megastar Shah Rukh
Khan, who has worked with the "Jab We Met" director for the first
time in "Jab Harry Met Sejal".
The forthcoming romantic drama, which will release on August
4, will see Shah Rukh with his "Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi" and "Jab
Tak Hai Jaan" heroine Anushka Sharma. The movie has been extensively shot
in Prague, Amsterdam, Lisbon and Budapest.
"The film travels a lot... But it is not on travel.
It's about a tourist guide, but it's a love story... Two people meet somehow,
and somewhere down the line as they are moving around, they kind of fall in
love," Shah Rukh said about movie.
"It was really nice because of two things, one Imtiaz
knows Europe very well. So, we have shot the film in Budapest, Amsterdam,
Prague and then Punjab... In a certain way, he reminds me of Mr. Yash Chopra
because he writes love stories, which travel all over India too and have a
Punjab taste. His writing is fantastic," the Bollywood Badshah revealed.
Additionally, the 51-year-old actor found shooting for the
film very easy as he finds Imtiaz as "a very gentle person".
Shah Rukh is confident "Jab Harry Met Sejal" will
have a long run and hopes the long weekend courtesy Raksha Bandhan on August 7
(Monday) will help.
"I think we will be able to garner some advantage of
the holiday of August 15 and I think our film has that scope, added the
"Fan" actor.
