"Even in my school days I went to the salon and said Shah Rukh cut," said Atlee
Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan is making all the right noises. The film, by Atlee, was released on September 7. From the killer dialogues to the music album, Jawan has ticked all the boxes. Now, Atlee has opened up about working with the superstar. Atlee, in a candid conversation with Film Companion, said that SRK welcomed him wholeheartedly. He said, “Welcome part from Khan sir was something else. He is a man of love, and he loved me like anything. So I have to give it back with great love. Therefore, I always used to say (to SRK), ‘How much I love you, you will only know when the film releases.” Atlee added, “As a joke, I always told this to him and he always replied by saying ‘I know sir'.”
Atlee, who is known for his super hit films Theri, Mersal and Bigil, revealed that he never felt any discomfort working with the “Badshah of Bollywood.” “So I think I didn't have any discomfort in working when I crossed my comfort zone. When I came to Bombay (Mumbai) and started working with Shah Rukh Khan sir, I didn't have any difference,” Atlee added.
He continued, “You should ask this question to him [ Shah Rukh Khan] because we were talking in Tamil and Telugu around him. But he (SRK) is a king by himself. He was enjoying the process.”
