Shahrukh Khan commands a high degree of respect from the movie industry in South.
The recent incidence can be a best example.
He saw Santosh Sivan working to his innovative best in the movies like “Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani” and “Ashoka”. He was so impressed with his work that he made it clear to the Billu authorities that his wish was to get Santosh handle a particular motorbike scene that should look so glamorous.
Well! What a cinematographer can do when the India’s top gun invites him. Hehad to just leave the present work as it is and fly to Mumbai for exhibiting his creativity for two more days before returning to his work.
What about V.Manikandan who has been doing Billu. Yes, he did other scenes and did not feel offended. Atleaset that is what he can say when doing big banner films.
Guess the result of this gesture. Yes, you are right. Santosh will now do a Red Chillies film with SRK as lead. A good gift indeed!
