‘Shah Rukh Khan was new, he got into a thing with director’: Dalip Tahil feared the worst when SRK countered Deewana filmmaker

Dalip mentioned that just when he expected things might take a turn for the worse, to his surprise, the director came on board and supported what Shah Rukh wanted to do. The actor continued, “‘He (Raj) said, no, I think we should do it this way. I think the scene should be done like this.’ Shah Rukh wanted to do it his way. I was flabbergasted as well, because I was standing there saying, what’s going on?  I was amused. I was like, okay, what’s going to happen now? Eventually, his energy and his conviction was so positive that I saw Raj say, ‘Let’s try it your way.’”

Dalip continued, “He did it his way. It was really remarkable, because it absolutely shows the kind of confidence and positivity  and what he brought to the table. He continues to do that. I read something about him where he said, even if I flop, I’m going to flop doing it my way. He’s got a really amazing dynamism. He’s got that energy which is very unique.”

Shah Rukh’s latest film Jawan was released on September 7. The film debuted with Rs 75 crore and has already minted Rs 200 crore worldwide in just two days.
