What similarities do Shah Rukh Khan and Nani have? Raghav Juyal answers
Here's the latest update from the Bollywood world:
Raghav Juyal of late was all praise for his The Paradise co-star Nani as they promoted the movie across the country. In one instance, he even called him a ‘universal star’ while praising his performance. During a recent press conference, Raghav was asked about the similarities he sees between Nani and King star Shah Rukh Khan . Even as the star listed out how they’re the same, Nani chimed in with jokes.
Adding to this, Nani and Shah Rukh Khan apparently have more in common than you would think. Similarities between Shah Rukh Khan and Nani At a press meet in Mumbai, Raghav was asked, given that he worked in both The Paradise and King, what similarities he saw between Nani and Shah Rukh. Even as he tried to reply, Nani chimed in saying, “Measurements.” When that elicited loud laughter, he clarified, “No, no, no. I worked on Yash Raj’s first movie in the South (Aaha Kalyanam in 2014). So, when I went for the photoshoot, that’s the first thing they told me. Sir, exact measurements as Shah Rukh sir. I was like, okay, nice. But not the exact payment. That is sad. I wish it were the exact payment, but yeah.”
Meanwhile, Raghav then listed out ways in which Nani and Shah Rukh were similar. “I think the way they treat everyone equally on sets. That is something which I saw in Nani dada also, and Shah Rukh sir also. They treat everyone equally. And they are very, very respectful to everyone on set, each and every one. Be it the technicians, crew, juniors, or everyone,” he shared, adding, “So, this is what I learned from both of them. And this is what they have in common. And the calmness they have, the patience they have.”
Notably, The Paradise is Nani and Srikanth Odela’s second movie together after their 2023 hit Dasara. The movie also stars Kayadu Lohar and Mohan Babu in lead roles, apart from Nani and Raghav. It is produced by Sudhakar Cherukuri under SLV Cinemas. Anirudh Ravichander composed the movie’s music.
