As reported by Bollywood Hungama, filmmaker Aanand L. Rai has decided to become production partners with Shah Rukh Khan. The two will be collaborating over several unusual films for the next five years. “While directing Shah Rukh Khan in ‘Zero’, Aanand L. Rai became very close to Shah Rukh. Now Aanand and Shah Rukh are ready to put their heads together for a slew of projects that need not star Shah Rukh Khan or be directed by Aanand. Shah Rukh loves the kind of films that Aanand has been producing, like ‘Newton’, ‘Mukkabaaz’, ‘Shubh Mangal Savdhan’ and ‘Manmarziyaan’. It is time to take their partnership to another level,” a source was quoted as saying by Bollywood Hungama.

In a recent interview to Indian Express, Aanand L. Rai had said,”SRK is the most obedient actor I have ever seen. He makes you extremely comfortable. It’s great on his part that he gave me so much of space and never let me feel a bit uncomfortable. The fan moment was there for the first two days. He brushed it off quite soon. After that, I found a brother in him.”
