In a recent interview, director R Balki revealed a heartwarming anecdote about Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan's professionalism and camaraderie. While shooting for a commercial, Shah Rukh arrived on set half an hour before Amitabh, leaving the veteran actor pleasantly surprised.
Balki described the atmosphere on set as akin to "an old school reunion" as the two icons shared stories and jokes. He also praised their dedication to their craft, stating that they were both "completely involved" in the shoot.
The commercial, which is for a popular masala brand, features Shah Rukh and Amitabh playing themselves. In the ad, they are seen attempting to head home after a long day of shooting when they are interrupted by paparazzi waiting outside. The paparazzi hound them and prevent them from enjoying the biryani waiting for them at home.
In a hilarious twist, the two superstars take advantage of the situation and run towards their cars as the paparazzi are distracted by a false sighting of Alia Bhatt.
The commercial is sure to be a hit with fans of both Shah Rukh and Amitabh, and it is a testament to their enduring popularity.
