Dunki box office collection Day 15: Shah Rukh Khan starrer has made Rs 417 crore so far.

Shah Rukh Khan turned 58 year and he has been in the film business for over 30 years at this point, yet when people speak about his work ethic, it sometimes sounds like they are talking about a person who is still struggling to make a mark in the movies. In a recent interview, veteran actor Govind Namdev was asked about working with Shah Rukh Khan, Aamir Khan and Salman Khan and the actor said that he has had a “great experience” of working with the Khans and he appreciates their work ethic and how they are in their personal life too.

“That’s why they are stars and people like them,” he shared with Lehren Retro. Talking about Shah Rukh Khan, Govind described him as a “workaholic” who can work round the clock. “Shah Rukh is a workaholic. You make him work for 24 hours and he will do it. This is such a massive quality in a star,” he said.

Govind was a part of Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, which was the first film produced by SRK under the banner Dreamz Unlimited, which later became Red Chillies Entertainment. “If he has produced a film then he has to balance the production side. If he is the hero in that film, he has to look after that aspect as well. The other engagements outside of that film, those have to be honoured too,” he shared.

In the past, many other artists have spoken about Shah Rukh Khan with regard to his work ethic. In a chat with Mashable India, Tigmanshu Dhulia, who worked with SRK in his home production Zero, said that working on the film felt like attending a wedding where he was the baraati. “On Zero, since it was his own production, he would offer chairs to everyone. Ask everyone if they had their food. It felt like we are baraatis, and he is the ladkiwala and we have come to his house for a wedding. Even if he didn’t do it, no one would have a problem. He is Shah Rukh Khan. But no, his manners are extraordinary. He is a very humble man, very well mannered,” Dhulia said.

Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in the recently released Dunki. He is yet to announce his next film.
