After kick-starting his acting career with Television, SRK eventually became the ‘Badshah’ of Bollywood after he moved to movies.

Speaking about working with Shah Rukh Khan in Umeed, Mushtaq Khan revealed to Digital Commentary that he thought that SRK wouldn’t stay here for long. He then recalled an incident when SRK asked about a ‘big producer’ Pranlal Mehta and revealed to him that he is getting a lot of calls from Pranlal. “I said, ‘You are getting calls from him, go and do that project with him.’ He told me that he would wait and see, but I asked him not to wait any longer and just do the project. He then decided to think about it for 2-3 days before responding to the producer.”
