SRK reveals an unknown fact about Ranbir Kapoor
You’re called King Khan. With your six-pack abs, you’ve become the fittest king around..
(Smiles) Thanks.. but the six-pack abs is hyped. It’s as good as growing a beard for Chak De. The second half of the film required me to look like the current crop of stars with long hair and toned body. I worked towards it, and now I like it. My son always thought I was fat.. but now he thinks I look stronger.
First half of Om Shanti Om is inspired by the 70s. What are your favourites from that era?
Seventies was the era of true-blue masala films. I often say that the term Bollywood, actually comes from the films during that era.
OSO and Saawariya are releasing at the same time. Is Saawariya a threat?
I have no angst because of Saawariya. Sanjay (Leela Bhansali) has given me a film, which will be remembered even when I am gone. Both Ranbir and Sonam have grown up in front me. Very few people know that I wanted to cast Ranbir in Main Hoon Naa.
Does Shah Rukh.. the producer, feel the same?
As a producer I’ll not leave any stone unturned to outdo Sony, Columbia, Tristar. If I’m called the King Khan, I better take-on the biggest in the world. When I go to the US, Sony doesn’t release my films. My competition is not against Sanjay or Sonam or Ranbir. It’s the Columbia Tristar, so they better be ready.
The year has seen many promising new comers. Who do you think will be your next competitor?
(laughs) I have a great body of work behind me and it’s unfair to compare them with me, at such an initial stage. The other day I was telling my wife that now Akshay Kumar is ousting me. Akki and I have been friends for years. Every year, I compete with myself. Every year I give the biggest hits. The biggest hit of the year is Chak De.. and once again I have to beat myself first.
