‘Amitabh Bachchan is a charmer, Shah Rukh Khan plays part of big brother, Salman Khan-Aishwarya Rai are stars’: Jameel Khan

He added, “And they were very nice to us. I am sure Sanjay must have told them about us. And we too did have conversations with them about our work and stuff, so they were well aware of the fact that we weren’t random actors, that they are good.”

Jameel also had an opportunity of working with Amitabh Bachchan and Tabu in the 2007 film Cheeni Kum. Talking about the megastar, Jameel told indianexpress.com, “He is a legend.”

“Bachchan sahab is a legend. We have grown up watching him. I have idealised him and we also happen to be from the same school. So I share a deep connection with him. He is a charmer and has got a wonderful memory. You cannot but love him and obviously there is awe and respect for that man from all quarters. And he walks into a set and there is a different buzz. And he has earned it, he is a legend. Unki kya hi baat karu, chota mooh badi baat (what can I say about him),” said the Gullak star.

Jameel who worked with Shah Rukh Khan in the 2003 film Chalte Chalte, said, “Shah Rukh is another person who is a great artiste. Has total respect and passion for his work. He respects all his co-actors and his crew all the more when he is producing it and when he is not, he still takes care of the entire unit. He plays the part of big brother.”

While, lately, there have been many coming forward and talking about star tantrums on set and unrealistic demands, Jameel said, “In my entire journey, I am yet to meet a star who has misbehaved with me or has been curt. They have all been fantastic with me. Maybe I am blessed.”
