SRK hates love stories… Why does Shahrukh Khan add action to romantic films?
Shahrukh Khan is known all over the world today as the 'King of Romance'. But he never wanted to be known like this. Shahrukh does not like romantic films or love stories at all. By doing 'Pathan' and 'Jawaan', he also said that he wanted to do action. He also started his career with such films. 'Darr' and 'Baazigar' are the biggest examples of this.
Now Nikhil Advani, who directed 'Kal Ho Na Ho' for Shahrukh Khan, has also spoken on this. He says that Shahrukh hates love stories. He always wanted to do action. That is why he choreographed the basketball scene in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' himself. Shahrukh also forcibly got the action scene at the station in DDLJ inserted in the film.
“SRK hates love stories”
In a conversation with Cyrus Sage, Nikhil Advani talked about Shahrukh Khan. He told everyone about SRK's love for action. Nikhil not only directed 'Kal Ho Na Ho', but he was also associated with three of Shahrukh's films as an assistant. These films were - Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Mohabbatein and Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. During these films, there used to be a discussion about Shahrukh and his actions. He says - Shahrukh used to tell me that Adi and Karan keep making only love stories, we will make a hardcore action film. Shahrukh Khan hates love stories.
Nikhil said that Shahrukh's favorite film is 'Dil Se'. He keeps talking about a sequence of 'Hey Ram' and 'Darr'. He also likes 'Ram Jaane' a lot. Nikhil further told an interesting thing, which we have put in the heading, and after reading you have landed inside this news. Nikhil said, "If you watch 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' and 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham', you will find that Shahrukh has been given the credit for thrills in both those films. He choreographed the basketball scene of 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' himself because he wanted to do his part of the action. Then he was told that his entry in 'Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham' would be from a helicopter. He thought that he was going to jump from the helicopter. He just had to get down from it. That was Jaya Bachchan's sequence."
Well, Shahrukh is currently busy with his film 'King'. His daughter Suhana is also with him in this film. It is being directed by Sujoy Ghosh.
