‘Meri life mein twist hi twist hai’
After the superhit Om Shanti Om, Shah Rukh Khan and Deepika Padukone are together once again for Chennai Express. The difference this time is that Deepika is not a rookie in the industry any longer and SRK can’t take her “hero worship” for granted.
And the person who has been taking a fair share of Dip’s attention is director Rohit Shetty and SRK is full of mock jealousy. “I noticed that this tall, beautiful heroine has fallen for director Rohit. Let me tell you that other than me she always seemed to be attracted to him,” says King Khan smilingly.
So would Deepika have proposed to Shetty in Tamil saying, “Naan unehn kadil irkeren?” SRK immediately interrupts and asks the meaning of the phrase. When informed that it translates to “I love you,” he says, “Oh! Then let me keep telling this Naan…Naan… to Deepika every now and then,” he adds.
About always coming back to playing romantic characters, Shah Rukh says, “I have always played romantic characters differently because these characters have been written differently for me. Love is a universal truth and probably everyone takes it differently. Love has no boundaries.”
Talking about Chennai Express’ release date, SRK does not forget to give credit where it’s due. “All films need to do well. We all work so very hard and invest so much money. It is not only that our films need to do well. I humbly thank Jeetendra Uncle for shifting the release date of OUAT-2 as it was clashing with Chennai Express. This will surely give space to each other’s films.”
About his Chennai connections King Khan says, “Well, yes! My team gave them tough competition. And I won over the Chennai team, that’s how I am related to Chennai in real!!”
The promos of the film run a dialogue that goes: “Chalis mein life mein zaroor twist ata hai…” and SRK mockingly adds to it: “Arre yaar, meri life toh twisted hi hai… meri life mein twist hi twist hai.”
Recuperating from a shoulder surgery, the superstar has learnt to live with the discomfort. “I have overruled the pain now. I need to be in a sling for another four weeks. It has been a long process getting back to normal. However, I am rehabilitating well.”
About the film releasing on Eid which has usually been reserved for Salman Khan’s releases in recent years, he says, “Oh Eid is a festival of love and celebrations. It is indeed great to be releasing our films on this pious day. All of us can enjoy together watching our movies.”
