Anurag Kashyap on being scared to make a film with Shah Rukh Khan
Speaking to Humans of Cinema, Anurag Kashyap revealed that, despite admiring Shah Rukh Khan and his work, he could not collaborate with the actor. He admitted that in the beginning, SRK would work with everyone but it is impossible to make a film with him now.
Anurag added that he aspired to make a film with SRK once and also likes him a lot, but now he is very “scared” of the actor’s fans. “In this day and age of social media, I am terrified by the fanbases big stars have. Actors get typecast because of fans, and the fans want the same things from them again and again. If that doesn’t happen, fans reject it, so even actors get apprehensive about trying new things.”
Anurag further stated that he is someone who will make the film he wants and not just cater to the fans; hence, he is scared to work with SRK. Kashyap added that the repercussions or consequences of making such a film with the Pathaan star can cost him a lot. “So it’s not in my capacity to cater to SRK’s aura or enigma. If his film Fan had worked, I could have said that I too have the courage to work with him,” concluded the director.
