SRK or Adi: Who’s inspired Simple Simon ‘Suri’

Currently, the vote is out on what people really think of superstar Shah Rukh Khan’s simple Simon look in Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.

Some insist that the common man look for our most romantic star is a tribute to the Amol Palekar-Hrishikesh Mukherjee-Basu Bhattacharya movies of yore.
But SRK himself has a different take on this. He insists that his almost-boring, simple character ‘Suri’, in the film, is based on director Aditya Chopra.
However, Adi thinks it’s just the opposite; that it’s based on buddy Khan’s truly simple persona.

Then, the third angle of this great friendship triangle, Karan Johar, has his view. “The relationship SRK, Adi and I share, is probably the last of the rare, true, honest friendships in the industry now.” Which is the reason why they’ve started being and behaving more and more like each other. But one thing is for sure. Neither of them is ‘boring or simple’ by any yardstick.
Anyway, if that’s the way they’d like to project themselves, who’re we to dispute?
We’ll still stay as ‘politically incorrect’ as we wish, huh?
