Karan Johar heaped praises on his best buddy and superstar, Shah Rukh Khan and revealed how he enacted for free in his film.
Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan’s history of friendship goes back to have created some of the most classic films, such as Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham, My Name Is Khan and so many others. Their bonding with one another has not only been limited to the outstanding projects which they have created on the celluloid, but also seeped into their personal lives, and has made them friends-turned-family. And now, Karan Johar, in one of his latest revelations shared a rather interesting anecdote about his buddy, Shah Rukh Khan.
In an interview with Sucharita Tyagi from ETimes, Karan Johar was asked whether he had approached his dear old friend, Shah Rukh Khan for agreeing to do a cameo in his latest release, Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani. To this, Karan responded that he already feels privileged for SRK having done a cameo on his request in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, and then he even worked for free for a shoot schedule of over 18 days in the film, Brahmastra where he was the producer. Revealing how he does not want to misuse his privilege of friendship with Shah Rukh Khan, Karan mentioned:
“I think you need to keep that card very close. I will use it because I have that kind of access to Mr Khan but I don’t want to keep using it for no reason.”

In the same interview, Karan Johar also revealed how his lead heroine in Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, Alia Bhatt was taught how to lip sync in a super slow motion for the song, Tum Kya Mile. Calling him a master, Karan revealed how SRK taught Alia as well as his own daughter, Suhana the proper technique to do it. In his words:
“When you do a slow-motion song or a high-speed song at the music, it’s doubled. To catch the lip sync, you really have to, like there’s a technique to it. And of course, Shah Rukh being the most intelligent man I know, mastered the technique a while ago. So when Alia was grappling with that high speed, you know it’s like hearing a voice note at 2X speed. So I said, just go to Shah Rukh, he is a master. So both the students sat and ‘Professor Khan’ conducted the lip sync in high-speed Opera and both were like, wow, this is gold, getting this from Shah Rukh himself.”
In one of his earlier interactions at an IMUN event, Karan Johar spoke about his directorial debut, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and criticised it deeply for being tainted with a lot of gender biases, and involved a lot of gender politics. Moreover, he also slammed the character of ‘Rahul’ in the film, portrayed by Shah Rukh Khan and shared how he propagated incorrect gender politics, that should not be inculcated in real life.
