Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan
together have created magic on screen several times before, with the former
directing some of the best received movies starring the latter in the lead. Karan
Johar has always been full of praise for his lucky star and good friend Shah
Rukh Khan, extolling the superstars work in his films, both produced and
directed by Karan Johar. Shah Rukh Khan has on previous account played the lead
in all of the films directed by Karan Johar including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai
(1998), Khushi Kabhi Gham (2001), Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna (2006) and My Name Is
Khan (2010), except the director’s most recent film, Student of the Year. The
new film instead stars three newcomers in the lead including Varun Dhawan,
Siddharth Malhotra and Alia Bhatt. Karan has however produced this film jointly
with Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment.
Speaking about his debutants and
their wish to reach the realm of stardom Shah Rukh Khan basks in, Karan
articulated, “These kids want to be like Shah Rukh, I just told them the way Shah Rukh Khan shoots, takes the light, does not fumble even once and controls the camera with his eyes... no one, I repeat no one, can ever do that! There is only one Shah Rukh Khan....” The actor has helped the film’s young star-cast with acting tips too! "During the shooting of 'My Name Is Khan', he (Shah Rukh) came to know that we both wanted to act. I used to give the clap and then sit down. He used to prepare his lines and then suddenly he used to start talking 'You should come early, see the props, touch things and feel them, look at your surroundings'," said Siddharth Malhotra. Varun Dhawan has also previously stated, "He (Shah Rukh Khan) is an institution of acting, the way he functions, the way he goes about his work, you could just learn by looking at him".
Shah Rukh Khan has inspired actors in B-Town since long and will continue doing so as he reins the big-screen with passion alongside his director-producer friend, Karan Johar.
