Karan Johar on working with Shah Rukh Khan

Shah Rukh Khan and Karan Johar's collaboration has always done wonders at the box office. Their friendship that dates back to more than two decades makes their professional work also give out great box office results.

However, it has been 7 years since they worked together in a full-fledged Bollywood project. Their last collaboration was in 'Ae Dil Hai Mushkil' where SRK had only a guest appearance. Rumours were rife that there was a tiff between the two, as they hadn't worked together on projects. But, all of that was put to rest when SRK agreed to do a cameo in 'Ae DIl Hai Mushkil'.

When KJo was asked about his current rapport with the superstar of Bollywood, he told a leading tabloid, "Shah Rukh is amazing. The day when he did that one scene for me in Ae Dil Hai Mushkil, he didn't know anything about it. He came on the set, read the scene and did it. We have a chemistry as director and actor that is just ours. He looks at me and he knows what I need. He read the scene and he knew what I wanted and I knew what he was going to do. We had kept eight hours and we finished it in four."

KJo further revealed, "We were both emotional, but we were pretending as if we are grown men. Aishwarya (Rai Bachchan) said, 'You both have this connection'. I wrote the lines knowing that he was going to render them just the way it was shot and designed and I went to him and said, 'I think only you can do this scene'. I needed his star power for that moment in the film and it just came together beautifully."

Karan was further asked about his collaboration with Shah Rukh Khan, to which he said, "I know that when we do come together, it will be seamless. He is one actor I know, if I go to him for a film, he won't even ask for a narration and will still come more prepared than most actors. I know when we come together — which could happen anytime — it will always be special because he and I have an understanding that I can proudly say he has only with me."
