‘It is unfair to ask anybody to postpone their films’ – SRK

Shahrukh Khan - Challa from Jab Tak Hai JaanA portion of a song in Yash Chopra’s ‘Jab Tak Hai Jaan’ was yet to be shot, but now will be left incomplete as the film crew has no desire to tamper with the signature style of the late filmmaker, said Shahrukh Khan.

“Just a minute and a half of the song was left. He (Chopra) wanted to do it in Switzerland. We don’t have the heart to shoot that part now. We will make it impure if we had to shoot it,” Shahrukh said at a promotional event of the film here Monday.

Other than this, the film seems to be ready for release.

“The movie is ready for release. He (Chopra) had finished editing and the background mix was happening. The film was locked by Yashji. The film which you will see has been entirely made by Yash Chopra,” he added.

The love story stars Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif along with Shah Rukh and is all set to release on the November 13, along with Ajay Devgn’s home production ‘Son of Sardaar’.

Shah Rukh thinks that it is unfair to ask anyone to change their release date and therefore is fine with the simultaneous release of both the films.

“It is unfair to ask anybody to change the release date of their film. Everybody loves their films. Yashji would have felt the same way. Films will always overlap and it is not fair for us to ask them to change it,” he said.

Talking about box office numbers, Shah Rukh said that he is not looking at collections and just wants the audience to enjoy his film.

“I am not a businessman. I just feel that my films should be enjoyed by all. I have earned enough money and awards in my life, so numbers don’t matter. But you are anxious when your film is all set to release,” he said.

Chopra died of multi-organ failure last Sunday (October 21).

  • Why everyone talking about business remember king khan @iamsrk words “heroes dont count zeroes” i dont like the masala entertainers like love stories so will watch #jthj if you love this desi style &born in country type atmosphere you can choose sos everyone has a choice

  • guys jus listen jab tak hai jaan title track…im getting addicted to it…the only song i liked …..

  • “Look at Salman Khan, weren’t his obituaries written four-five years ago? Today he is at such an enviable position that it is difficult for most to even touch him. Poor guy was written off after his very first film. After that even when he was delivering successes, he was not taken seriously. Today he is taking an opening weekend of over 60 crores when so many others are struggling to get even half of that. What does that say? You can’t keep down talent and sooner you wake up to that fact, the better. All India audience has a mind of its own, let’s not negate that fact,” it is true.

  • @veena

    if a guy lives in small town going to watch sos…nd some high class society members will watch jthj….huh…open ur eyes …60% business depends on single screen earning…so its nt fair ….grow up ..i think u still watching ‘POGO’ channel….lollz…

  • @ Aki, Yaar Opinion ko maar goli. Ley us create history with Son of Sardar, by watching , kyuni iske bina Diwali is bekar.

  • @Sarah: it can’t be coz the banner itself is hit so with big star cast even it will be slow or old story but it will be hit for sure.

  • @aki
    I think opening will be huge..may be second highest after ETT..u cnt under estimate shahrukh..has huge fan following jus like salman…nd dnt 4get this combo..Yashji+srk+ar.rehman..so opening will be better than sos…..in two weeks it will earn 120+ cr…untill Talaash comes…so its 17 days open for both sos and jthj…according to my prediction sos will be 120cr nd jthj 140+ in this period…bcs of 2500 screens for jthj nd 1600 screens for sos..so collections of jthj on higher side….

  • Salman Khan has been giving sleepless nights to some of his INSECURE contemporaries….And their fans are uttering rubbish, but whats new?!! God Bless Him and keep him safe from evil eyes

    may be jthj wil collect around 20 or 22cr…on opening day bcs of yash chopra!!!!

  • @ill wayne. . . Ya Bcoz of yash death ‘l benefit it. But 1st day ‘l ‘ve pooja na. . So people wont go 4 movie dat day. . But sure 2nd day ‘l be high like ra one. . So 1st day ‘l be 15 to 18cr. . Even i think 15cr also not possible on its 1st day Bcoz of sos. . So being 2nd highest is very far away. .
