Priyamani says she played Kaun Banega Crorepati with Shah Rukh Khan on the sets of Chennai Express: ‘SRK gave me Rs 200’

In an interview with Gulte, Priyamani said, “He (Shah Rukh Khan) was extremely sweet, very down to earth person. I mean, he’s the sweetest person alive. So, he came to me at one point because there were some particular steps which we had to repeat a couple of times. He said, ‘No, no darling, you go sit down, I will do it.’ I said, ‘No, sir, I’m okay. I love dancing, so I don’t mind dancing how many times you want me to dance. I can dance, no issues at all.’ Those were the best five nights of my life.”

Talking about how they had fun on the sets, the actor said, “We did not sit down and chat, but we played Kaun Banega Crorepati on his iPad. He gave me Rs 200. I won Rs 200 because my answers were right.”

Priyamani also praised SRK’s hard work and dedication. She said, “For us, once you finish work at two in the morning or six in the morning, you want to go back and sleep. But this man, after shoot, after pack up, he takes one of the assistants, they go to the sets or maybe his room and they practice.”

Priyamani will next be seen in Shah Rukh Khan’s upcoming film Jawan. Helmed by Atlee, the film also stars Nayanthara and Vijay Sethupathi.
