Shahrukh Khan was disappointed with the helicopter entry in Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Nikhil Advani revealed; ‘He felt like he was going to jump…’

Nikhil Advani worked as an assistant director for Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham. Recently he told that Shahrukh Khan, who made a grand helicopter entry in the film, is disappointed with it. He recalled that this happened because Shahrukh initially thought that he would have to jump from a helicopter while coming out to meet his mother in the film. But it ended when he got out normally

Fans still remember Shahrukh Khan’s iconic entry in the film. In an interview on Cyrus Says’ YouTube channel, the filmmaker said that King Khan had a dream for his entry, but it did not come true, leaving him disappointed.

He told, ‘When we told him that his entry in ‘Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham’ is by helicopter. He thought he was going to jump from the helicopter, when all he was supposed to do was step down. This scene was more about Jaya Bachchan that she gets the news of her son’s arrival as soon as he touches the ground.

Nikhil also worked with the megastar in films like Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Mohabbatein. Additionally, he directed her in the 2003 hit film Kal Ho Na Ho.

All these romantic films played an important role in earning Khan the title of ‘King of Romance’ in Bollywood. However, he claimed that behind the scenes, Khan was often intent on trying different genres or roles on screen and hated love stories.

Apart from KSG, he shared an anecdote from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and revealed that Shah Rukh himself choreographed the popular basketball scene from the film where ‘Rahul’ and ‘Anjali’ were introduced to the audience.

As a result, the actor received credit in the credit portion of the film. He said, “At the beginning of the film, he is given credit for the thrill. That’s because he made the basketball sequence in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai seem like an action scene. He choreographed it.”

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in Sujoy Ghosh’s King. In the film, he will share the screen with his daughter Suhana Khan for the first time.
