Shah Rukh Khan was present at the announcement of the 63rd Jio ‘Filmfare Awards 2018’ on Tuesday. During media interaction, the actor revealed that his upcoming film will be the most advanced visual effects film made in the world.
Shah Rukh Khan was asked, when can fans expect the first look of his upcoming film with director Anand L Rai. While talking about the film he said, “The thing I am very proud of the film is that it is the most advanced visual effects film made in the world, not just India. I am not saying this because my company is doing it, but it is the truth. And that is why it is taking a little longer than we thought.
We prepared the film for 2 years, but we are giving the best shot possible. Such films are not always made. Obviously, because it is visually heavy, so it takes a lot of time and a lot of money is also being spent. We want to be very exact about everything.” He added.
Shah Rukh who is known as the romance king said he is nervous about playing a special character. “This is a very difficult film, so for the first imagery, so we want everything to be perfect. Since someone like me who is known for romantic roles, is playing a vertically challenged man, there will be if’s and but’s about if it will be accepted or not. We are a little nervous and a little ready.”
Confirming the film’s status, the ‘Harry Met Sejal’ star said, “We want to put are the best foot forward. The film’s title is ready, the tagline is ready, and the first image is also ready. I have seen it and it is looking quite nice. I think for a few days we just want to give it finishing touches. Anand Sir is very anxious to release it, but the team has been saying, ‘since it is first to look of a very special film let’s not get anyone upset’. It is a very special film for me as a character too.”
Since many films have received backlash from the audience in 2017, especially after Padmavati Row, Shah Rukh says it has scared him a bit and made him cautious. “Nowadays people are very sensitive and at times very negative. It is scary, but we have put a lot of hard work into this project, done out best and we want to give our best shot. So, I think in a few more days it will be out.”
The film directed by Anand L Rai is co-produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Colour Yellow Productions. The film will see many cameo appearances, but the pivotal roles will be presented by Shah Rukh Khan, Katrina Kaif, Anushka Sharma, and Tigmanshu Dhulia.
The film is slated to release in Dec 2018.
