One of the stuntmen on ‘Jawan’ set recently talked about how Shah Rukh Khan would check on their safety before and after every shot.
It would not be wrong to say that time and again, friends, family and colleagues of Shah Rukh Khan have called him a gentleman, thanks to his demeanour and charm. Now joining them is none other than a stuntman from ‘Jawan’, named Saddam. The action star-dancer, who was also seen in ‘Dance Deewane’, recently talked about SRK’s kindness, and his passion towards his craft.
In a video that's doing rounds on social media, Saddam is seen calling Shah Rukh Khan the ‘sweetest banda’. He further shared, “The heroes I work with are usually rough, who come and say I will do this and that. But he was not like that. He asked me how I was going to do that stunt, and checked on the safety. He was worried that I would get hurt and I briefed him about how it was safe.”
The stuntman further shared that SRK would discuss the stunts on ‘Jawan’ sets, and checked on him after the shot. “Tu thik hai? (are you okay)”, he would ask. “Also, if the shot went wrong, he would immediately say it was his fault. I was amazed at what kind of a star he is. SRK is really different from anyone I have worked with,” Saddam quipped.
He also recalled a particular scene where SRK’s hand had to be tied back and how he said he would do it himself and gave a one-take shot.
Earlier scheduled to release in June, the makers of ‘Jawan’ recently announced that the film would now release in theatres on September 7. The Atlee film also stars Vijay Sethupathi and Nayanthara.
After ‘Jawan’, SRK also has Rajkumar Hirani’s ‘Dunki’ in the pipeline.
