The shoot has begun in February this year in London. "I got to shoot with Katrina Kaif for the first time, which was wonderful. I do a couple of films a year and I hadn't got a chance to work with her until now.u00a0

I think she is a stupendous actor. Everyone says about her being hardworking and very talented. Its more important how we work together as a team," said Shahrukh.u00a0

The model-turned-actress has been in Bollywood since nine years and all those who have worked with her have always praised her.u00a0

"When I work with young actors, I learn a lot as they have a different way of doing scenes. I have worked now for 21 years, they have been working for 10 years. When Katrina is doing a scene, she has a different way of approaching it.

"When she approaches it differently, as a co-actor I also try to think if she is doing it differently, there must be a reason so let me also try it and adapt myself to do it differently. So that give and take has been absolutely fantastic," Khan said.u00a0

Apparently, it was on Katrina's birthday few years back that both Shahrukh and Salman had a fall out. And now Katrina is working with both Khans -- Salman and SRK -- under the Yash Raj banner films.u00a0

SRK's association with Yash Raj Films has been long and they have together given many hit movies like 'Darr', 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai' and many more.u00a0

"I seldom read that shooting with Yash Chopra is a picnic but shooting is never a picnic. It was hardly like a picnic and it was very cold.u00a0

It's hard work and its a difficult film. It is nice to shoot with Yashji after 6-7 years. Its nostalgic, very tricky," SRK said.

"Shooting is nice with him because we are one big family. We have worked with each other for 21 years.u00a0

There are lots of moments and we have had great time making films," Shahrukh further explained.
