Throwback to: When Yash Chopra asked SRK how much will he charge 
In the midst of shoot for “Jab Tak Hain Jaan” Yash Chopra told Shah Rukh Khan that he never asked him how much money he needs. Netizens say ‘Dilip Kumar and his wife were also big supporters of SRK’
Yash Chopra’s directorial of the swan song Jab Tak Hai Jaan featuring Shah Rukh Khan Anushka Sharma Katrina Kaif released in November 2012, few weeks after the filmmaker’s sad passing away. This was his last film.
Yash Chopra & Shah Rukh Khan went a long way. Their first collaboration was in 1993 with Darr and continued with Dil To Pagal Hai, Veer Zaara, and Jab Tak Hai Jaan. In the lead up to the release of the film in 2012, Shah Rukh Khan interviewed Yash Chopra and the veteran filmmaker praised the actor for many reasons.
As a superstar who lives his life in the glare of cameras and headlines, much has been written about Shah Rukh Khan—his passion, his craft, his humility and the love he spreads around. But beyond the films, the news, and the star persona is a man who has come to mean many different things to his ever-growing legion of fans.
Whether as Rahul Raichand or Raj Malhotra, Mohan Bhargava or Rizwan Khan, Aman Mathur or Kabir Khan, the many personas that Shah Rukh Khan’ has embraced for his films have become forever etched in the minds of countless moviegoers.
The book presents portraits of the star’s inspirational life and unearths what he means to people in every corner of the world—be it a taxi driver in Paris, an Irishwoman in London, three generations of women in a family in Pakistan or screaming fans across Europe, Asia, the US, the Middle East and, of course, India.
With intimate stories, fan accounts and never-before-seen photographs of the man who rules the hearts of more than half the world’s people, this book is as much a paean to Shah Rukh’s career as a tribute to the man himself —the star, the icon, the legend, Shah Rukh Khan.
