Vicky Kaushal on Shah Rukh Khan

Vicky Kaushal shared his experience and stated that he understood why he is the 'Badshah' of Bollywood. Vicky reveals that he was on set as if it was his first film. He adds that Shah Rukh not only knows his own lines but he knows the lines of all the characters. 

Vicky revealed an interesting anecdote about Shah Rukh Khan while they were shooting for 'Dunki'. He said that, '' On one of the shoot dates he had to rush for some important work and it was a very critical moment in the film for my character and he just could not be there for that shot and I had to give the shot with the body double. After finishing his work, late at night Shah Rukh called, which I missed, and he sent a long message saying that we will shoot that shot again''. 

He went on to add that Shah Rukh apologized for his absence that day and said that he could not be there that day to give just those cues. Vicky expressed that it was not necessary and that the shot went okay and the director Rajkumar Hirani was also happy with the way the shot shaped up.

This little affirming tale sets the tone to what an enigma Shah Rukh Khan is.
