Shah Rukh Khan on ‘JHMS’: Harry could be the evolution of how Raj and Rahul would be

There’s a reason why we call Shah Rukh Khan the king of romance. There’s hardly a shade of love that he hasn’t brought alive. However, this is the first time that he teams up with someone as maverick as Imtiaz Ali. The latter is known to rediscover love at its most unconventional forms. Intricacies of relationships find plausible shapes in his films. Therefore, two minds with two different approaches to romance will definitely come up with something unique.

In conversation with a leading daily, Shah Rukh opened up on his idea of romance, how filmmakers take into account how he looks at love stories, and more. (Also Read: Revealed: Shah Rukh Khan’s character details in ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’

“I believe Harry could be the evolution of how Raj and Rahul would be. He’s decent, has a sense of humour and some anger. Inherently, a lover is someone who demands love, he doesn’t beg for it and respects the woman he is in love with. When Imtiaz narrated the story, we did a few rehearsals. He had Anushka in mind and had spoken to her. The marriage happened because I respect his language and he respects the love I have for a love story,” he said.

We are to see how it all came out.

The film releases on August 4, 2017.
