Veteran actor Boman Irani, who was recently seen in Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki, has opened up about his experience working with SRK in several films. Boman explained how Shah Rukh eases the tension on sets by cracking a joke on himself and added that people always look forward to his arrival.
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.”
On the show Koffee with Karan, Sunny Deol was asked about the one thing he dislikes about Shah Rukh Khan. The Gadar 2 actor had said, “What I don’t like about him is making the actors a commodity.”

Boman Irani mentioned that Shah Rukh Khan cherishes his early days in the film industry, not just because of his success but because those times held great significance for him. Boman thinks Shah Rukh wants the film set to have a good atmosphere when new people come in because it makes the movie better. 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 talked about Shah Rukh’s recent comeback, saying folks deciding Shah Rukh’s fate don’t really know 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.”
