SRK happy with audience response to Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi

Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi is at the theaters near you. For those who haven’t seen the film, Shah Rukh Khan will tell us more. Shah Rukh, thank you so much for joining us…Rohit Khilnani chats with SRK.

Rohit Khilnani: Your film is out at the theatres, tell me what is the kind of a response you have received so far?

Shah Rukh: So far, I have got an excellent response. But normally when a big film comes out the response is like that but it is more special because it is in the times when it is a little weary that the people would like to come out to the theaters but it seems we have crossed that part.

Rohit Khilnani: Alright, at any time when you and Adi (Aditya Chopra) or producers were talking about that you all should not release the film at this time or was it a better thing that the people should watch something and get their minds off from the terror attack?

Shah Rukh: I think, it happened only one day - four days before the release when I started doing marketing for the film again and I called him and said - do you think we are doing the right thing. I wrote him a four line message - keeping this in mind, should we try turn it around, postpone it and whatever options I needed to give and a message came from him saying No. So, I realise that he was very clear.

Rohit Khilnani: It is believed that Aditya Chopra and Shah Rukh Khan, a combo can’t get bigger than this so was the opening up to the mark?

Shah Rukh: The morning shows obviously in Maharashtra were not as good as we would have liked but in what is called as the up country, the areas which are interiors, the morning shows were packed all over the country.

Rohit Khilnani: This time you did lose on your fans in Pakistan.

Shah Rukh: I don’t know why people say that because a film releases in Pakistan not ever simultaneously. We try to release it as fast as possible so that piracy can be avoided. We don’t hold any thing business vise personally.

Thank you so much Shah Rukh
