“He insisted that I should take the first flight to Hollywood. I was so scared thinking the director would sue me for doing this or cut my salary for making the loss. But Shah Rukh said, ‘Tu ja, agar tere ko kisika phone aaya bhi, you come and catch me. I will handle the situation here. You go my friend, sign this film and make us proud,” shared the veteran actor.
