Atlee Kumar opens up about working with Shah Rukh Khan again post Jawan: 'I will crack a subject better...'

The director who gave the biggest hit in the industry Atlee who made his directorial debut with “Raja Rani” in 2013 to his recent blockbuster “Jawan” starring Shah Rukh Khan, Atlee has consistently delivered commercial success coupled with critical acclaim. His films, including “Theri,” “Mersal,” and “Bigil,” have not only dominated the box office but have also garnered recognition and awards, solidifying his position as one of the most sought-after directors in the industry.

In a recent ABP conclave, when the blockbuster director was asked about his reunion with Shah Rukh Khan after Jawan , he said, “I love all his films, DDLJ, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Om Shanti Om, Chennai Express, I can go on and on… For me, he is the face of Indian cinema to the world. So, it is a dream to work with Mr. Shah Rukh sir. Fortunately, I got to do that in my fifth film. God has been kind and I think I have justified that.”

He added, “Of course, definitely I will crack a subject better than Jawan, and I will go to him for sure. I will narrate and I will go to him for sure. I will narrate it, if he likes definitely it will happen. I know he loves me a lot… he is something else. He is always an energy to go. He is the best man I have seen in my life. Thank you, Shah Rukh sir. I will come to you once I crack something greater than Jawan. I will definitely come to you.”

When asked about Pan Indian Films he replied, “As a professional person from film fraternity…I don’t like the world Pan India, India is one and unity in diversity is one. Language is just communication medium, They are not knowledges. All films, everyone sees for example KGF is the biggest hit all over, after KGF Yash is the Indian Superstar, Allu Arjun Sir - Pushpa, Vijay Sir - Villu…So I think we are one and we never like to call it Pan India films or cross over cinema we like to call it Indian Film an Indian Film fraternity”
