Shahrukh wants to plug the generation gap

For his debut directorial outing 'Always Kabhi Kabhi', film maker Roshan Abbas must have thought that his play 'Graffiti' (which he had written and directed way back in 1999) was a good enough ready material for the screen adaptation as well. However that was not to be the case as Shahrukh had slightly different view around how he wanted the written material to come on screen.

"Shahrukh was quite nice and polite to Roshan and in fact complimented him for being 'ikhlas' (an 'Urdu' word which stands for being sincere) in his thinking," says a source from the film's production unit, "However he advised him to change the 'sur' of the script a little so that it appeared younger."

The film is said to be a coming of age campus entertainer with youngsters like Giselle Monteiro, Zoa Morani, Ali Fazal and Satyadev Dube forming the film's cast. To make sure that these youngsters spoke the same language as the youth of today, Shahrukh wanted Roshan to further work on the film's dialogues.

"Shahrukh had so many examples to narrate where kids in his own family had an altogether different way of talking and behaving. It was an eye opener," says Roshan, "In fact he and I joked that our generation had long been left behind."

Hope this generation gap doesn't reflect in the final outcome.

Being SRK: The ultimate reality TV show

"It's an inner world-outer world kind of documentary," said Khan, speaking exclusively to HT. "Hopefully, the parts that people will get to see of me — at work and at other places — will shed some light on how films and film stars work and offer an insight into how I do things." Khan said he has got to know the crew quite well ("They have been very unobtrusive"). For Discovery Travel & Living, this series will be one of the biggest global productions to come out of India and will be shown all over the world. "We haven't yet decided when we're going to telec...
