Shah Rukh Khan is currently enjoying the success of his latest release, Jawan. The film, which hit theaters on September 7, has managed to surpass the 200 crore mark in just three days at the domestic box office. Eijaz Khan, who plays a pivotal role in the movie, recently opened up about his experience working with SRK.
Eijaz Khan is a well-known face in the television industry, thanks to his performances in popular shows like Kkavyanjali and Kyaa Hoga Nimmo Kaa. He has also made appearances in films like Tanu Weds Manu, Tanu Weds Manu Returns, Shorgul, and a few others.
During an interview with Connect FM Canada, Eijaz Khan admitted feeling hesitant about a particular action sequence that involved hitting Shah Rukh Khan. However, much to his surprise, SRK encouraged him to go ahead with it. Eijaz said, “Shah Rukh sir is not only one of the biggest film stars in India but also worldwide, and I am well aware of that. Fortunately, I was part of a dance tour with Salman sir and Shah Rukh sir, where we traveled outside of India and did world tours for three months. I witnessed the frenzy surrounding him.”
Eijaz Khan further shared, “I used to dance behind Shah Rukh, but now I am sharing screen space with him. I am threatening him and asking for his suggestions for a scene. I didn’t have much interaction with Atlee sir and Shah Rukh sir, but I reminded him that I had danced with him.”
The actor revealed that he was initially hesitant about performing the action sequences because they required him to push and hit Shah Rukh. Recalling SRK’s words, Eijaz said, “Don’t worry, go for it.” He also mentioned that the first time he couldn’t do it, but SRK reassured him, saying, “Eijaz, do it. I can handle it.”
Eijaz Khan added, “He wants to give you a spotlight to shine. He wants everyone to be happy and satisfied with their work. Such a big personality, and yet all he does is spread happiness, positivity, and make sure everyone has their moment in the spotlight.”
The film Jawan also features Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Deepika Padukone, and other talented actors. Stay tuned to Celebtrends for more updates on Bollywood news.
