Jab Harry Met Sejal is your first film with Shah Rukh Khan. With SRK as a part of the film, the attention shifts to box-office. Does that worry you?
Whether it is Shah Rukh Khan or Ranbir Kapoor, my bigger concern is whether the film will make enough money to pay its debt. That was my worry regarding this film too. I was aware that since SRK is a part of the film, it will become a number game — almost like a horse racing scenario, [where everyone is speculating whether] the horse will win the derby or not. But, it didn’t bother me. Shah Rukh has the same goal as I do; he just wants to make a good film. That is the only thing we were worried about.
