When asked about this collaboration and will it start a new trend, Shah Rukh said, “It should have been done a long time back. But it’s very good that Karan and Salman are making a film with Akshay. I wanted to do that. But the story and all didn’t work out. I’m sure he is really open to it. I think whenever there is an opportunity, as producers, we should make this happen. Firstly, we should get this correct. They should not be taken as individuals, as Karan or Salman. It’s Dharma and SKF. They are different identities, they are film producers. It’s about the company, not about individuals. So, two companies have come together to make a film with a big movie star.”

Further speaking about collaborations, the actor said, “We at Red Chillies do it too. Maybe, Dharma and Red Chillies, or YRF. Film making should be collaborative. The more collaboration there is, in music, film making, storytelling — you will have better films. Tintin was made by Steven Spielberg, who loved it and he produced it and let Peter Jackson — who owned it — direct it. It’s something Steven Spielberg always wanted to make and direct, but he found that Peter Jackson has it, he said, ‘Let’s collaborate’ and make it together.”

Well, won’t it be exciting to see two of the biggest stars collaborate for something extraordinary? We are certainly waiting for it, are you?
