Sanjay Gupta did like Raees Trailer and also talked about his association with SRK from last 25 years, “Yes, and I still believe in the Shah Rukh I have known since then. Both of us started out on the same sofa in the Sippy Films office. (SRK-starrer) Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman and Aatish (Gupta’s directorial debut) kicked off and released at the same time and were produced by GP Sippy. I may not have gone to Shah Rukh with a film, but, knowing the man he is, I don’t think he can ever play unfair. No one in the business can accuse him of that.”
When asked about his equation with Rakesh Roshan, he said, “Rakeshji received a lot of unnecessary advice which he was kind enough to share with me. He was honest enough to name the people who had forewarned him. Similarly, I shared my apprehensions with him. We decided to wear blinkers and focus on Kaabil, go in with complete faith. Rakeshji is a senior and successful filmmaker. I decided that even if there was anything we disagreed on, I’d agree to disagree but never disrespect his views. A director-producer duo is like husband and wife, at least during the duration of the film they are making, and honesty should be the foundation stone in that relationship.”
Kaabil and Raees are all set to hit the theaters on Republic day. What are your thoughts on both the movies? Do let us know in the comments section below.
