What’s your gut feeling about Fan Honestly, I don’t know yaar. Will Fan give a closer view about your life, perhaps a more real side to you I am playing a superstar, but we were clear that he shouldn’t be mistaken for Shah Rukh Khan. I also hate it if you take my cap off; I will get it back from you — like I’ve done before. If I was allowed to do Baazigar at 26, anyone is allowed to do anything..Once when I was in Chennai, someone pulled my scarf off and it got entangled around my neck; it really hurt. Nobody speaks without tameez. I had to later call his parents and put him on a train back home. I China Polyester Shower curtain Suppliers have told my bodyguards that any fan below the age of 25 has the right to be stupid, silly and childish. In my house, even without being a strict father, nobody speaks badly to anyone. I have no idea how the film will do. But despite all the trouble, you always go out of your way to meet everyone  I remember in Berlin once, when Kajol and I were there, there were hundreds of people and the security said that you can’t go to them. My neck once started to bleed because someone tried to pull my chain. I have to get my leg in order.  will finish that by the end of this month and take a few months off. It’s like if I really respect you, I can say anything to you. His upcoming film revolves around these faceless, nameless people that make him the star that he is. Besides, youngsters now have a strange way of respecting each other. The young ADs of Maneesh would come and tell me ‘no sir, this shot was not nice’. We are never unkind to girls however, so they can do anything. That’s why half the people think that I am arrogant or Maneesh is arrogant. It was after my shoulder surgery. I said ‘Then I am not coming on the red carpet’. No one will say anything to them.  

Till 25 you are allowed to do right, wrong, good or ugly. I am a big believer of tameez. In fact, I can’t even tell about other people’s films. (smiles). It’s silly being a star if you can’t touch your fans.Tell us about a scary fan encounter. That’s why we called him Aryan Khanna. I don’t differentiate work in terms of how good or bad it is. But how do you handle fans that cross the line I have female fans, so if they cross the line it’s better (smiles). This one kid who had ran from home to see me, climbed the pipe outside my old apartment, to the seventh floor just to see me. My level of excitement for a project however, might differ from an audience’s level of excitement for the same. You hardly get a chance to meet the people who make you. You have to be little sensible. I don’t like it because I am not rude to anyone. If you are not respectful, I can’t take it regardless of how old you are — 100 years or 1 year old. We haven’t locked anything, but for the last 18 months we have been in discussions in Imtiaz (Ali) and Anand (Rai).. If you are offended by that, then you have a problem. Of course, I know how to package a film but sometimes your best efforts don’t convert into a blockbuster. That’s why I don’t wear a scarf, cap, rings or chains at public places anymore. I mean, it’s stupid to throw a bottle on stage to attract attention and say ‘I am your fan’.

When I go on the red carpet, I meet each and every person — sometimes the barricades are broken, but I will say hello to everyone. It was very clear; it is not my life story. The respect is that of equals.How do you deal with all the fan madness when you step out Simple rule. I must have failed more often than not but he had the patience. He has a very different language of cinema for today’s time and a very interesting way of making a film. I can’t tell. Does not obliging a fan also mean loss of a ticket Ticket loss or not, I don’t take to badtameezi nicely. I have kids who are 16 and 18 and they do things which cannot make you angry. You have been working non-stop despite the pain, haven’t you Yes, I need time.

This year looks very interesting for you with the upcoming releases. What was he like on the first day of the shoot Delhiwallas are never scared yaar; they come on the set as if they own it.  Director Maneesh once said that he came to Mumbai only to make a film with you Yes, he keeps saying that he is going to retire after this film.Fans form a big part of Shah Rukh Khan’s identity and raison d’etre  — something he speaks of with much passion. He moved the barrel of his gun in a way that it hit my eye. Apart from Raees and Fan I have Gauri Shinde’s film too. My work is only for them and if you can’t get to see them, touch them, it’s redundant. He is not. Sometimes, not so good enough efforts turn out to be fantastic.Every year is exciting as an actor. I am too close to my films and I cannot tell. Once, I had a cop trying to protect me in Kolkata. I may have had an emotional experience though. After the break, I will get back into the system with my next films. I am not going to hit you or anything but I ignore you. Aditya Chopra, Karan Johar — they have a better understanding of what a film’s business is likely to be. I don’t.  

On a serious note, I have never had a ‘bad’ experience with my fans. So when I asked him about his retirement the other day, he said, ‘nai sir, abhi ek aur karunga’. For me it is about work being exciting. He has a method and is an educated filmmaker. If a film is not exciting, I won’t do it. Seated at his landmark Bandra residence overlooking the sea, he tells us why they mean so much, how he can’t tolerate a badtameez one and much more. There was this one time when my team member Puneet was trying to stop people from coming close to my car at a parking lot and he got hit by a metal rod — his shin was damaged and he walks with a limp till today.. We used the house (Mannat) because there was no bungalow to shoot where crowds could gather.
