Shah Rukh Khan gets candid about his upcoming film, 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' and working with Imtiaz Ali and Anushka Sharma
There is a lot of buzz surrounding Shah Rukh Khan's next, 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' for the film will mark the actor's return to romance genre after a long time. Agreeing with the same, Shah Rukh said, "I haven’t done a romantic film for years now. Maybe, the last few romantic films were 'Dil Toh Pagal Hai' and 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'. 'Chennai Express' was more of a romantic comedy. I don’t think even 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' was a true blue love story. My last few films — 'Fan', 'Raees' and 'Dear Zindagi' — were also different."

'Jab Harry Met Sejal' also marks SRK's first collaboration with Imtiaz Ali. Talking about his experience of working with Imtiaz, Shah Rukh said, "Imtiaz’s love stories are quite unusual… The entire language and nuances of Imtiaz’s love stories are very different, and I’ve not done a romantic film in that language, which I like a lot. Also, Imtiaz can really feel love. It’s very interesting, subtle, quiet, not very underlined but extremely deep and somehow, ghar bana leti hai dil mein"

Despite the fact that he is Bollywood's 'King of Romance', Shah Rukh said that even now while doing a romantic scene in the film, he only goes by his director’s belief. SRK revealed, "A few days back, I was doing a romantic scene in Aanand’s film and he was like, ‘sir, aap se hi toh pyaar seekha hai, yeh toh aap hi karlo. Aapko kya batayenge kaise karna hai?’ But, honestly, I don’t know how to do it. I just play along, especially since there’s trust in me vis-à-vis love stories. "

Shah Rukh, who will be seen collaborating with Anushka Sharma for the third time in 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' was all praises for the actress. Shah Rukh asserted, "I really enjoy myself with her. Over the years, I’ve got to know Anushka’s family and her brother, and she has also learnt about my family. For instance, Suhana really likes her. Whenever they meet, they chat a lot. Also, I admire her because I am sure it must be very difficult for her to be a leading lady, but still take out time, put her money at stake and produce, but she is doing it. She is a complete outsider and isn’t someone, who knows the film business. At the end of the day, I think it’s all about belief."
