Did you know that superstar Shah Rukh Khan was filmmaker Anurag Kashyap’s senior in college and are good friends? Speaking about his relationship with SRK was his senior in university and that he has been there like a big brother helping him. In a recent interview, the filmmaker also opened about not leaving Bollywood until he makes a film with Shah Rukh.
He also recalls landing at the SRK’s home, Mannat randomly, and getting food too.
Anurag was quoted as saying, “I was hungry and I walked into his house, using our college connection [both went to Hansraj in Delhi]. I remember him feeding me. He only knew how to make an omelette.”
Anurag had spoken about how he and SRK almost collaborated, “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).”
Anurag also added, “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.”
