Shah Rukh is part of my film, says Aziz Mirza

Shah Rukh Khan is known to go out of his way for old friends be it making special appearances in their films, giving them surprise gifts, or working for a nominal amount in their projects. On Monday night, the actor rushed to meet his mentor Aziz Mirza (who gave SRK his big break with Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman) the moment he returned from London.

Shah Rukh who was never supposed to be a part of Mirza’s Shahid Kapur-Vidya Balan starrer Kismat Konnection has done a voiceover for the film.

Incidentally, Mirza earlier wanted Juhi Chawla, who plays a crystal ball reader in the film, to do the voiceover.

When asked about Shah Rukh’s part in Kismat Konnection, Mirza said, "Yes, I’m proud to say that Shah Rukh is part of my film. One thing I’m very confident about is that he will be there for me anytime I need him.

He will never say no to me. I needed him to do the voiceover for my film and he immediately agreed.”

As for him wanting Juhi to do the voiceover, Mirza said, “Earlier, I thought Juhi should do the voiceover since she plays a crystal ball reader who discusses life and destiny.”

But, things did not work out with Juhi as she felt that the visuals were too strong for a woman’s voice. That’s when Mirza called Shah Rukh.

Mirza added, “Shah Rukh had just landed from London when he rushed to do the voiceover for Kismat Konnection on Monday night at around 1.30 am. He completed the entire voiceover in no time at all.

That boy has an amazing energy level! I’m very fortunate to have Shah Rukh, Juhi and now Vidya and Shahid in my life. They’re all my kids.”
