After ‘JHMS’, SRK wants to work more with Imtiaz Ali

Shah Rukh Khan and Imtiaz Ali have teamed up for ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ and this is their first collaboration. Well, in every interview, SRK keeps on praising Imtiaz, and recently while talking to Bombay Times, the actor stated that he wants to work with Imtiaz Ali more.

SRK said, “Imtiaz’s writing is simple, beautiful and heartfelt. I haven’t seen any of his films from start to finish; I’ve only seen portions of ‘Socha Na Tha’ and ‘Rockstar’. There are two kinds of filmmakers — one who gets completely corrupted by filmmaking as it is a business, and the other who is semi-corrupted. I don’t use ‘corrupted’ as a bad word. I think it is important. Some are completely mind, some are completely heart. The first kind could be extremely manipulative and successful; the second type could be extremely heartfelt and unsuccessful. Then, there are some filmmakers who figure out the middle path. Imtiaz is like that, he is all heart and still very successful.”

“Every actor in the industry openly says that they are dying to work with him. I don’t know if it’s his films or the way he is personally. He is a great guy to work with, of course, but being nice is no criteria to work with someone in this competitive field. Imtiaz writes and directs beautifully and I think that makes a great combo. I am hoping that I’ve made him think a little bit, as being a writer, he’s all heart. You will see that in ‘JHMS’. So yes, I think Imtiaz and I make a good combo, and I would like to work with him more if he wishes to work with me,” he added.

‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, which also stars Anushka Sharma, is slated to hit the screens on August 4, 2017. (Also Read: Jab Harry aka Shah Rukh Khan sang a Bhojpuri song for Sejal aka Anushka)
