Emraan Hashmi Remembers The Time When He Called Shah Rukh Khan As ‘Dhakkan’ & ‘Dabba’

Actor Emraan Hashmi, who is gearing up for the release of his first web series titled “Bard Of Blood“, has said that actor-producer Shah Rukh Khan has had a profound impact on him as an artist and as a person because he has grown up watching the 54-year-old superstar’s films.

Emraan was interacting with the media at the premiere of Netflix film “Bard Of Blood” on Monday in Mumbai.

A few days ago, Netflix India released a new video to promote its upcoming original series, “Bard Of Blood”. The four-minute video shared online brought together producer Shah Rukh and actor Emraan for a short sketch that, for some reason, shows SRK making self-deprecating jokes about his own legacy.

Sharing his experience working with Shah Rukh in that promotional video, Emraan said: “I felt bad because, in that video, I used some bad words for him (Shah Rukh Khan). He has a very profound impact on me as an artist and as a person because I have grown up watching his films. But in that video, I referred him as Dhakkan and Dabba (idiot) and then I put a cloth bag on his head so, I felt bit embarrassing doing that but we had to shoot it for professional reasons.”

Emraan added: “It was really a nice concept and I feel we should praise him (Shah Rukh) for that because I don’t think any other actor at his level would have that kind of self-deprecating humor in a video. Therefore, I feel that he is fantastic at whatever he does.”

The Netflix series will track the life of an ex-RAW agent Kabir Anand (Hashmi), who goes on a mission with two team members to rescue Indian spies captured in Balochistan.
