"Shah Rukh and I enjoyed bugging Farah"
Shahrukh ‘King’ Khan is notorious for landing up hours late for shoots, but for a day during the shoot of ‘Om Shanti Om’ (‘OSO’), he actually deigned to come earlier than required. If anyone should take credit for this unprecedented act, it is Shreyas Talpade, who also stars in the film.

“Actually, I had an early morning flight to Bangkok, and we had a whole night’s shooting schedule ahead. Just as I was fretting over how I would make it on time to the airport, both Shah Rukh and Farah Khan (director) came over to me. SRK assured me than he would come earlier than planned, and wrap up the shooting early, so that I could make it,” Shreyas says.
“It was so nice of him to be so considerate. He and Farah even helped me decide, which spots I should take my wife to in Bangkok,” he beams. When asked about Farah’s alleged dictatorial ways on the sets, Shreyas laughs it off, saying “Farah used to get angry and frazzled. But honestly, she looked so cute when she was angry that Shah Rukh and I enjoyed bugging her just to see her fly into a rage.”
So, now that he has moved on to bigger films, does he consider himself in the big league? Shreyas is modest when he says, “Well, maybe the film is in the big league, but as for me, I will only be satisfied when there is a positive reaction from the audiences to the film.”
“Working on ‘OSO’ was an experience of a lifetime. Farah was really good as a director. She has every thing so clear in her head that it makes work so much easier for us as actors,” elaborates Shreyas.
