King of Bollywood, Shah Rukh Khan, who is globally acclaimed for starring in many romantic films, is not a fan of love stories himself.
Kal Ho Naa Ho director Nikkhil Advani revealed while talking in the Cyrus Says podcast, that SRK, despite being known as the 'King of Romance', hates love stories.
The director stated: "Shah Rukh and I used to have these conversations so many times that ‘Karan and Adi (producer Aditya Chopra) only do love stories, let us do something different.”
“Shah Rukh hates love stories. Considering that he is known as King Khan and King of Romance, this and that, but he hates love stories.”
He further opened about the Pathaan actor’s favourite film.
“Dil Se is his favourite film. He keeps talking about his favourite sequences from the films Hey Ram and Darr. He loves his film Ram Jaane, where he is wearing a headband.”
Advani further explained Khan’s habit of improvising things in films. For example, the iconic basketball scene in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai was SRK’s personal addition in Karan Johar’s romantic-comedy flick.
"Even when you see Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, he gets a credit called thrills. At the beginning of the film, he gets credit for thrills. It is because he treated the basketball sequence in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai like an action scene. He choreographed it.”
Work wise, Shah Rukh Khan will be sharing the big screen with daughter Suhana Khan for the first time in Sujoy Ghosh’s King.
