Vishal Bhardwaj hopes to finally collaborate with Shah Rukh Khan after sharing a script during O’ Romeo. The filmmaker praised SRK as the country’s greatest charmer and expressed faith that a film together will happen
Vishal Bhardwaj and Shah Rukh Khan
Vishal Bhardwaj's latest release O'Romeo is currently in theatres and has crossed Rs 50 crore at the box office with largely positive reviews. He is known for crafting love stories through his uniquely poetic, intense, and often dark storytelling in both films and songs. Over the years, he has collaborated with actors like Shahid Kapoor, Vidya Balan, Tabu, and the late Irrfan Khan. Yet, he has never worked with Bollywood superstar and 'King of Romance' Shah Rukh Khan. It is a collaboration and a world fans of the filmmaker have been eager to watch. Now, the filmmaker has spoken about why their collaboration has not happened yet.
Vishal Bhardwaj on SRK collaboration
After the release of O'Romeo in an interview with ANI, Vishal Bhardwaj shared that he had shared a script with Shah Rukh Khan during the making of his film O Romeo, expressing his hope that the two might collaborate on a project in the future.
On being asked if Shah Rukh Khan could enter Bhardwaj's cinematic world, the Maqbool filmmaker said, "I think it (collaboration) has to happen. Main saal mein Shah Rukh se kitni baari kitni stories ke liye baat karta hun. He always responds to my message and he's a lovely person. He's the greatest charmer of our country."
"Who doesn't love Shah Rukh Khan? Let me put it that way. Everyone loves him. And there has to be something so beautiful in him as a person also that makes him Shah Rukh Khan. Maine unhe iss film (O' Romeo) ke dauran bhi ek kahani bheji hui hai aur woh bhi humesha bolte hai ki yaar ek film toh honi chayie jo hum dono ko saath mein karni chayie but definitely, there has to be one film between Shah Rukh and me. Inshallah, is baar woh miracle ho jaye (I had even sent him a story during 'O' Romeo,' and he always says, 'There should be a film that we do together.')," expressed Bhardwaj as he is keenly looking forward to working with SRK.
