Director Aanand L. Rai is presently engrossed in one of his
most ambitious projects as he collaborates withShah Rukh Khan for the first
time. The untitled movie which is based on a dwarf (Shah Rukh) also stars
Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma.
As the filmmaker is working closely with Shah Rukh, when a famous
tabloid questioned if he discovered a new side to the actor, he disclosed,
"I discovered a great human being in Shah Rukh and a great friend who
teaches you a lot, and then, it’s up to you to learn from him. I am really
looking forward to this journey, as I have discovered somebody with whom my
equation goes beyond films. I really enjoy being with him and learning from his
experiences."
Salman Khan has a cameo in the film and lately shot for a
song with Shah Rukh. On what it was like to direct both the megastars, Aanand specified,
"That moment was pure magic. I didn’t know who was directing the sequence,
because I was sitting there like a fan. And it was a big fan moment to see the
two big superstars together. I really enjoyed and felt privileged that it
happened in a film that I am a part of."
Aanand was also quizzed about whether he gets excited or
nervous about a new release at this stage to which Rai responded, "I feel
exactly the same the way I felt when I was making my first film. So, a film
excites me as much as it used to. No film is a small film for me, as it’s made
with same amount of passion and hard work by an entire team. A film takes away
almost one-and-a-half years of yours. So when you invest that kind of time and
love, it’s like having a new baby (laughs). You always develop a sense of
attachment for your films, so, before its release, you feel a bit sad, as you
know that it will go away from you."
Aanand's movie with Shah Rukh, Katrina and Anushka is scheduled
for a Christman 2018 release.
