In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, the filmmaker shared his experience on working with superstars like Madhuri Dixit, Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai, Deepika Padukone, and a few more. Talking about Shah Rukh Khan, SLB shared, “What Shah Rukh Khan did in Devdas is very special. Those close-ups, those moments, the fragility of a man who is always in control, were an audience; his arms were up.”

“But, in the film, he just became fragile; he said, ‘kaun kambakht bardaasht karne ko peeta hai’ and looked at those eyes.’ So, they were all talented,” he added.

King Khan was a big star back in the 2000’s after delivering several successful movies like Mohabbatein, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, and Devdas.
