As Shah Rukh Khan embarks on a train journey from Mumbai to Delhi, he opens up about his connection with train
Shah Rukh Khan has embarked on a train journey along with 'Raees' team. As the film is all set to release on 25th January, SRK is leaving no stone unturned in the promotions of the film. As he travels by a train to Delhi, SRK opens up about the connection between train and his films.
"We were talking about wanting to travel to cities for this but I wanted to call everyone here and do it. You know with every film it's different. During 'Chennai Express' we could just go in a mall and dance, with 'Happy New Year' we could do anything, but this film we cannot do all that because it has a different kind of dignity to maintain even though it's a popular film. So I didn't know what to do, where to go, and how do I talk to people about 'Raees'. So we first thought we will just stick around Mumbai and meet people here. But we have a few days left so we were like can we do something we can meet people from different cities and one member from my team suggested that we take a train. There's also a small train sequence in the film so he said trains are very closely attached to our being. I asked how, and he explained 'Chaiyya Chaiyya', and 'Chennai Express'."
He further adds, "Then I thought 'Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman' had a train, 'Main Hoon Na' I come out of a train, in 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai' I see off one of the ladies in a train. I don't remember clearly but somewhere I have spent a lot of time on the train. So I have always had trains associated with me. It's nice. And I am impressed. One keeps hearing about railways, upliftment. We are in the second class. When I walked in I thought this is the first class, because during our times this was the first class."
