Won't leave Bollywood until I make film with Shah Rukh Khan: Anurag Ka

Theirs is a
relationship a few
know about and
even less would
believe its
existence in the
first place.
Between a star,
who is the face of
everything
aspirational, Shah
Rukh Khan, and a
director, who
thrives on serving
reality, which is
often hard-
hitting, Anurag
Kashyap, a
friendship would
sound unlikely.
But Anurag
Kashyap tells that not only is their bond
over 20 years old but in fact, it is so dear to
the director that he knows his filmography
would remain incomplete if it doesn't
feature at least one film with Shah Rukh
Khan.
In a group interview, held on the sidelines
of the ongoing India and the world The
Changing Narrative' film festival
conceptualised by writer Anuraadha
Tewari, which Kashyap inaugurated, as the
director talked films, he also fondly opened
up about his camaraderie with Shah Rukh,
and how they came close to working with
each other several times over the last few
years.
For the longest time, there were rumours
that Shah Rukh was supposed to do
Kashyap's No Smoking (2007), which finally
went to actor John Abraham. And it turns
out, the superstar was indeed keen to do
the film but it was Kashyap, who "went
away from him. "Shah Rukh Khan wanted
to do No Smoking, he was very upset when
I went away from him. I also went to him
with Allwyn Kalicharan. I wanted to do that
with him and a big superstar from
Hollywood. Everything was almost done but
then again (it didn't happen), Kashyap said
before quickly adding that he is certain the
duo will collaborate with each other one
day.
"But we will work together. I won't go
anywhere without making a film with Shah
Rukh Khan, the director said with a child-
like enthusiasm. But Kashyap is also sure
that he will go to Shah Rukh, who also
happens to be his Delhi University senior,
with a script only when "the actor looks at
him as a filmmaker and not a junior.
"I will write a film that will lure him. He
should be attracted to it, he should be dying
to do the film. That's only when it can
happen. The fact that Shah Rukh, perhaps,
looks at the filmmaker like a junior became
evident when Kashyap shared how the
actor keeps advising him to do things his
way to achieve bigger successes. "He is my
senior from university, he has been there
like a big brother helping me. Shah Rukh is
super successful. When he loves you, he
approaches things like, in my struggling
years, (he used to tell me), If you do what I
tell you to do, your problems will disappear'.
But I didn't want him to make my life, I love
him to death.
The difference in opinion in terms of career
choices, however, never affected their
friendship. In fact, Kashyap, who is
notoriously known as a non-conformist in
Bollywood, said he can't dare defy Shah
Rukh.
"He is the only guy I can never speak up to.
I can fight with the world but him. If he
scolds me, l'll sit in a corner and cry. He is
someone I have this love for. He's the only
guy I can't fight with. He always makes fun
of me, bullies me. He says Agar main bolta
na woh Wasseypur ka dialogue toh teri
picture zyada badi hit ho jaati.' (If I had
spoken the dialogues of Wasseypur, your
film would have been a bigger hit) He's like
that. He is super charming, he can charm
everyone around him, the director said.

This disaster director-actor duo can only make a film that might become the biggest disaster of Bollywood history.

SRK should stay as far away as possible. Who in their right mind would want to work with Anurag? The man is just not good, only pretentious and overrated.

If they do, let it be small budget.
