Boman Irani, who starred in the Shah Rukh Khan-led film Dunki, shared his thoughts about working with SRK across multiple projects. Boman said that Shah Rukh’s ability to lighten the atmosphere on set with his self-deprecating humour and the positive energy he bring are appreciated by one and all.
In an interview with Connect FM Canada, Boman said, “I think Shah Rukh Khan understands where he came from. I think I’m judging. I may be wrong, but he understands what it is for a person to be doing one of their first films in the film industry and how one is treated. Not as a commodity, not as a person who’s supplying something; that person is supplying his talent, his art, his being. I think he understands that.”
According to Boman Irani, Shah Rukh Khan values his early days in the film industry not just for success but for their personal significance. Boman thinks Shah Rukh strives for a positive atmosphere on set, particularly when new people join, as it improves the overall movie experience.
He said, “People are walking in, feeling nice; there’s a certain energy when he arrives. Nobody is petrified. People are looking forward to his arrival, and then we can start cracking jokes. He will always start with a joke, and more often than not, the magic bullet of all that Shah Rukh fires is a joke on himself. This is the greatest talent that he has.”
Boman also commented on Shah Rukh Khan’s recent comeback and said that those making decisions about Shah Rukh may not have a deep understanding of him. He said, ” “Let’s imagine he did not have these three great hits. So what do we judge Shah Rukh Khan by? What happens only today, only by the three hits? No, we respect him even more for his tenacity, but legacy, man, you can’t mess around with that. He likes entertaining people. He likes seeing the joy on people’s faces.”
