SRK and Karan Johar have been friends for more than two
decades now. The bond has been thick since the time Karan cast SRK in his
directorial debut Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and since then there was no looking back
for the two.
Except for Student of the Year, KJo and Shah Rukh have
worked together in four movies including KKHH, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Kabhi
Alvida Naa Kehna and My Name is Khan. But when SRK and Karan didn't collaborate
during SOTY, people thought that there was a rift between the two. But all
these rumours were put to rest when Khan agreed to do a cameo for KJo's last
directorial outing Ae Dil Hai Mushkil.
When questioned about it lately in an interview, Karan Johar
told, "Shah Rukh is amazing. The day when he did that one scene for me in
Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, he didn’t know anything about it. He came on the set, read
the scene and did it. We have a chemistry as director and actor that is just
ours. He looks at me and he knows what I need. He read the scene and he knew
what I wanted and I knew what he was going to do. We had kept eight hours and we
finished it in four."
KJo further disclosed, "We were both emotional, but we
were pretending as if we are grown men. Aishwarya (Rai Bachchan) said, ‘You
both have this connection’. I wrote the lines knowing that he was going to
render them just the way it was shot and designed and I went to him and said,
‘I think only you can do this scene’. I needed his star power for that moment
in the film and it just came together beautifully."
Quiz Karan if there is a possibility of him teaming up with
SRK anytime soon and he tells, "I know that when we do come together, it
will be seamless. He is one actor I know, if I go to him for a film, he won’t
even ask for a narration and will still come more prepared than most actors. I
know when we come together — which could happen anytime — it will always be
special because he and I have an understanding that I can proudly say he has
only with me."
He ends conversation, "Shah Rukh is somebody with whom
I have had a great creative collaboration. We are a little like a dream team,
so I feel like when we come together, it has to be a mammoth film and has to be
bigger than anything else."
