Which is Shah Rukh Khan’s favorite film?
On a recent appearance on What Cyrus Says, Cyrus Broacha’s podcast, filmmaker Nikhil Advani, who directed SRK in Kal Ho Naa Ho, said, “He hates love stories.” He recalled his time as an assistant on Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and how SRK would want to make things less romantic and more dramatic for his character. Nikhil Advani spoke about SRK’s favorite film, saying, “Dil Se is his favorite film.” Dil Se, directed by Mani Ratnam, starred Shah Rukh Khan and Manisha Koirala in lead roles. It was a box office disaster when it was released. However, the film established SRK as a known face among European and American audiences beyond the diaspora. He played a different kind of lover.
