SRK fulfills Abbas’ dream
After being a radio jockey, anchor, presenter, host, theatre artist and actor, Roshan Abbas is now ready with his debut directorial venture Always Kabhi Kabhi, made under Shah Rukh Khan’s banner Red Chillies Entertainment.
A film with SRK’s production house but without Shah Rukh seems a little strange. “I had only one script in hand and I wanted to experiment. But I don’t think experienced stars like to experiment because the commercial aspects of cinema are different for them. I told SRK that I have written a film about teenagers. I don’t need stars for that, but I’d require a big production house and Shah Rukh agreed to that,” says Roshan.
There had been reports that Shah Rukh has done a video for the film and will be seen in a special dance number as well. However, Roshan Abbas clarifies, “That is for you to watch and tell. But let me clarify that Shah Rukh is nowhere in the film.”
But, with Shah Rukh on the producer’s seat, and Roshan still learning the tricks, weren’t there any interference from the actor? “Shah Rukh has been a great producer and has given me complete freedom. But there were times when I allowed him to take complete ownership. He knows the pulse of cinema,” says Roshan. He hopes to cast Shah Rukh in his next film if things go well.
