Karan Johar and Sha♛h Rukh Khan, together, have given some of the biggest hits of his career, including ‘Kuch Kuch Hota Hai’ (1998), ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham…’ (2001), ‘Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna’ (2006) and ‘My Name Is Khan’ (2010). However, fans of both were a little disheartened after they didn’t see the actor making a cameo in ‘Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani’.
Revealing why SRK did not appear in the film, Johar told Sucharita Tyagi in an interview, “Shah Rukh never says no to me. He never says no to me. I think you have to keep th🎃at card very🎐 close, because you know I will use it. I have that kind of access to Mr Khan. I don’t want to keep using it for no reason.”
For those caught unaware, Shah Rukh Khan tutored Alia Bhatt and Suhana Khan in lip syncing for songs, including 🌠track ‘Tu🐷m Kya Mile’.
Now Karan revealed how SRK spent six hours with her to make sure she was trained properly. “When ♛you do a slow-motion song or a high-speed song at the music, it’s doubled. To catch the lip sync, you really have to, like there’s a technique to it. And of course, Shah Rukh being the most intelligent man I know, mastered the techniquౠe a while ago. So when Alia was grappling with that high speed, you know it’s like hearing a voice note at 2X speed. That’s how that song is,” Johar shared
The filmmaker added, “So I said, just go to Shah Rukh, he is a master. So both the sܫtudents sat and ‘Professor Khan’ conducted the lip sync in high-speed Opera and both were like, wow, this is gold, getting this from Shah Rukh himself. So yes, like vicariously Shah Rukh is in the film.”
