KJo on working with SRK for ‘Ittefaq’ remake

Karan Johar and Shah Rukh Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment are coming together for the remake of the 1969 film ‘Ittefaq’.

Talking about working with Khan in the Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha starrer, Johar told Bombay Times, “I think just like me, Shah Rukh is pretty much in the background. We have people and teams that take over the films. Actors want to leverage their brand value and equity and take it to another level by having production houses. Shah Rukh isn’t involved on a day-to-day basis. He is a superstar and he has so much happening…”

He also added, “SRK and I work very well together — we produced ‘Dear Zindagi’ with him and now, ‘Ittefaq’. It is seamless and our teams are completely aligned with each other. Shah Rukh and I step in whenever required. At the final cut, we will see the film. ‘Dear Zindagi’ was Gauri Shinde’s baby all the way, Shah Rukh and I stepped in the end just to help and support the product and do nothing else.”
