Imtiaz Ali talks about working with Shah Rukh Khan

In an interview with Indian Express, director Imtiaz Ali has spoken about his experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan. The filmmaker reiterated that his script demanded the superstar.

“It’s (experience) a very good one because we communicate very easily. We are both from the same North Indian middle-class family with a Delhi theatre background. So it was very easy to communicate with him. I can’t talk much about it because I am not allowed to” Imtiaz said.

Talking about the ‘need’ to have a big star to ensure recovery from theatrical business.

“I do respect the market forces. I will be a fool to say that I am making a Rs 500 crore film with a newcomer. It won’t happen. So then I won’t make that film. But if a film requires a guy who is 15-year-old, I will not go to SRK for it. I will not make the movie. So that choice is mine. And sometimes if I know that I require an A-lister who will get me a certain draw in the market then I will see whether I am getting him or not. And if it falls into place then it becomes that overall coincidence where you are looking for a person who is a star and he also fits your script. You then set out to make that film.”

Imtiaz’s first film with SRK releases in theatres on August 11 next year.

  • who says SRK needs script
    he hasnt had a need of any script or story for his films in the last 10 years. All his films are story less

    dilwale or happy new year or fan or ra one…

  • WOW, Indicine back in Srk Promotion, tell me one thing Indicine when Kabir Khan talks about Salman and his movie Tubelight, that time why you had not make article on that……Every director talks about their actor, but you never post article on any one of them, but for Srk you make article without any delay…..I know it’s your site, and you can do anything you want, but then accept that you are biased towards srk……Not against Srk, but when you publish articles only on srk and answer most of the question only based on srk every time, that’s makes me hate you….

  • Useless and Rubbish article, every director talks about their actor, no need for such articles…..Instead of this post something about Dangal which is going to release next week……

  • recently Akki celebrated 20th film of him together with Anupam kher …you did not posted that news ….
    twinkle khanna anounced her firt movie staring akki and sonam directed bh R balki you again did not posted ..
    Today Akki released j2 motion poster you did not posted that too …. .
    ….why so much hate for akki dude……kanhi kabhi akki ne aapki bjayi to nahi hai na jo itna jalti hai tumhari akki se …. ……

    Why hate so much akki …..

  • Recently Google India release a list of most Trending Movies, Actors and others, but there is no article on that, such list which comes once in a year, but nothing on that…..Guess Why??….because their favorite star srk is not in that list…….

    Sorry Indicine that I am writing such comments, but we all love your site, we all wait whole day, visit your site 5-10 times everday to get some news on our favorite star, but when you do such partiality, then it hurts…….

    Again nothing against Srk, please publish more article on him, but don’t do partiality….

  • Hey Indicine sorry for my above comments, it’s just I saw this article and when I read it I cannot control myself, it’s just for 2 min anger and I wrote those comments…..Recently their are so many news on Salman which you totally ignore, but I have not said anything to you, because it’s your site and it’s your decision and I respect that……Also it hurt when you ignore other actors and make article on srk with small small news…….As I said before nothing against Srk, I really enjoy his articles too, because it gives me pleasure to kick the A*S of his fans (Just for Fun)……..

    So please don’t mind and keep rocking…..

  • A film without a title…. sounds like they are shooting a glorified ad commercial hoping some sponsors will invest in their crapfest n give it any name…!

  • RAEES is going to be disaster, there is no chance of hits at box office for RAEES.
    So
    SRK is again flop after hat-trick flops

    IMTIAZ is also a flop director after Tamasha

    Box-office result for IMTIAZ and SRK will be disaster.

    There is no expectations from SRK films. Because with republic day clash SRK will be flop star. And anybody can clash their films with SRK.

    No chance of any hits from SRK in upcoming days

  • TO ALL HATERS… WRITING COMMENT REGARDING INDICINE FAVOURING SRK AND OTHER STUFFS.. TO THEM

    WHENEVER THERE IS A ARTICLE REGARDING SRK… SRKIANS AND OTHER FAN BASE ALWAYS COMMENT..WHETHER POSITIVE OR NEGATIVE REGARDING HIM..BUT THEY DO..

    WHICH IS IN SHORT A BIG WIN FOR INDICINE COZ THERE SITE GET LOT OF VIEWS..

    SO STOP BARKING AND ACCEPT THE FACT..WHO SO EVER FAN YOU ARE.. U ARE NOT LOYAL FAN OF YOUR STAR UNLESS U BASH SRK…

    SO THATS THE REASON SRK IS ABOVE ALL OF THEM..COZ NO COMPARISON WITH SRK MEANS YOUR NOT A FAN OF BIG STAR..

    #MIND IT..
    SRK WAS THE RULER OF BOLLYWOOD AND WILL BE…CHAHIYE JO BHI HO

  • Salman fans r burning ryt here.. Lol..
    Cool guys dnt b so jelous.. And ya Plzz plzz Plz u people dnt talk about script.. OK.. ?
    Salman ne do acchi script ki movie kya karli ki pichle 20 saal ki saari scriptless movie bhul gaye..

  • This guy Salman fan looks like some illiterate fella yearning for some wannabe attention seeking stuff and hence made those totally illogical and foolish comment.
    I would suggest him first to enroll into some basic etiquette learning institution so that next time he doesn’t look like a stupid who is actually living in fool’s paradise.

  • @Jolly sunny akkiholic

    Daava vs yes boss
    don vs jaaneman

  • @ new era SRK…. you are right….these SRK haters knows everything but they act like they doesn’t know anything. obviously.. jo actor popular hai usi ka hi article ayega na… and all the haters love to read article related to SRK…. they are the one who is making him famous. they don’t read article of their fav actors but they will read articles of SRK without fail. luv or hate him…but u can’t ignore him.
