SRK compares Imtiaz Ali to the great romantic directors

Shah Rukh Khan has compared Imtiaz Ali to the stalwarts of the industry’s top romance directors.

Khan, who is currently filming Ali’s ‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’, believes Ali has the same qualities as Yash Chopra, Aditya Chopra and Karan Johar who have all made the industry’s most successful and romantic films. “I haven’t seen Imtiaz’s films, to be honest, but when I met him, I found him extremely gentle and sensitive. Amongst the people I had worked with earlier, it was the same quality that Yash ji, Adi, Karan had. They are personally very different but also very sensitive”, said Khan  as reported in MidDay.com.

The actor believes he isn’t a romantic person himself but has the greatest respect for the directors who understand the genre and sees Ali as one of these respectful directors. “To me, it can’t be a person with lesser level of sensitivity directing me in a love story. I find Imtiaz sensitive, dignified. These are not filmmaking qualities, these are personal qualities which translate into your films or acting.”

‘Jab Harry Met Sejal’ will be released on 4th August and also stars Anushka Sharma.
