Actor Vikram Kochhar, who was recently seen in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki, has opened up about working with King Khan. Vikram recalled how SRK’s small gestures made him emotional and revealed how the Jawan actor joined the unit and celebrated Vikram’s birthday at 3 am.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Vikram said that he has visited SRK’s Mannat twice and recalled how wonderful he felt. The actor said that he doesn’t have Shah Rukh’s number and added, “I was scared to ask Shah Rukh Khan’s number. I have his manager’s number. Even if I have to message him something, I do it through her. I got messages from him, through Pooja mam a lot of times. But yes, sometimes I get messages.”
He further shared a heartwarming moment. “We were shooting for an underwater sequence the whole night and it was my birthday the next day. We were shooting till 3 or 4 am and after the scene someone called me and said, ‘Sir is calling.’ When I went I saw three cakes on a table and SRK was standing in the middle. We could not record anything because we were on set. He made sure he was there and celebrated with me. He even hugged me.”
Vikram Kochhar then revealed that he was shooting in Budapest with 103 degrees fever. He said, “In those conditions, I was doing a scene and when I felt I hit the right note, Shah Rukh came and said ‘brilliantly done’ and he hugged me tight. Main marra tha almost, suddenly jaan phukdiye.”
When asked if Vicky Kushal’s character overshadowed Shah Rukh’s character in Dunki, the actor said, “Vicky’s role was very strong. It was very impactful and powerful role.”
Dunki is helmed by Rajkumar Hirani and also stars Taapsee Pannu in a pivotal role
