Kajol reveals Shah Rukh Khan was rude and mean to her during the shoot of 'Baazigar': 'I was not even 18 at that time...'

Kajol and Shah Rukh Khan are one of the most celebrated duos both on screen and off screen for their great camaraderie and believable on-screen presence. But the actress has now revealed that their first meeting was not as smooth as it is today. Kajol about Shah Rukh Khan 's first reaction to her Kajol shared that during the filming of Baazigar in 1992, both Shah Rukh and she had different energies. In a chat with Radio Nasha, Kajol said, 'First of all, I was not even 18 at that time—around seventeen and a half years old. We were shooting on January 1. Shah Rukh likes to shoot on that day. Saal ke pehle din shooting karo toh poore saal karte ho.' Shah Rukh Khan Surprises Sitaare Zameen Par Cast | Aamir Called Him 10 Times! Kajol's energy on set Kajol was the only one buzzing with excitement after a full night's rest, while the whole set was tired from the celebrations. She recounted how her talkative nature kicked in while others preferred silence. But her attempt to engage Shah Rukh in conversation didn't go as planned. Kajol recalled sitting beside him and playfully questioning his serious demeanour. However, SRK wasn't amused. 'Can you please shut up for a minute? Somebody shut her up, for God's sake,' he said. Kajol remembered feeling taken aback and called it 'so rude and mean' at the time. But later the duo developed a strong friendship. 'Of course, that led to a great friendship. I don't think he even remembers half of it,' she said. Kajol about Shah Rukh Khan pinching her to make correct reaction in a scene The conversation also touched on a memorable scene in Baazigar that required a touch of sensuality. Kajol was unsure how to portray that role as she was just 18. She admitted struggling with the shot until choreographer Saroj Khan stepped in with a quirky solution. 'Saroj ji said that you have to suddenly feel 'aah'. It has to be an expression of sensuality. I told her I don't understand,' she said. Kajol revealed that SRK was asked to pinch her during the scene to help her deliver the right expression. She added that over the years, both she and SRK have shared many such goofy and spontaneous moments on set. Kajol's work front Kajol is preparing for the release of her upcoming horror film Maa, which is set to arrive in cinemas on June 27.

'Exclusively in theatres': Bollywood tests new methods to release movies

Bollywood is trying out various scripts to lure audiences back to the big screen. This comes as the rising dominance of over-the-top (OTT) platforms makes it difficult for movies to run for long periods on the silver screen, thus hurting the cinema industry. The latest attempt is by Aamir Khan, who decided to release his film, Sitaare Zameen Par, exclusively in theatres. On Thursday, Multiplex Association of India (MAI) applauded Aamir Khan's decision to release the film exclusively in theatres. This comes after some media reports said that the much-awaited movie is expected to be released on YouTube through a pay-per-view model after its theatre release, and not on OTT platforms. According to a film trade analyst, it is still not confirmed if the RS Prasanna-directed sequel to Taare Zameen Par will be released on YouTube. On the other hand, Girish Wankhede, film trade analyst, said it is highly unlikely for any other movie to be released on YouTube. Selling the rights of movies to streaming platforms helps producers recover a certain amount of their invested budget on the film. Through YouTube, the chances of recovering this money are unlikely. He further noted that Sitaare Zameen Par isn't a mass-audience film like Dangal or PK. These had the possibility of working well on a popular platform like YouTube. While select movies like Chhaava and Raid 2 performed well at the box office (BO), some high-profile ones like Salman Khan's Sikandar, Akshay Kumar's Sky Force, and the latest being Sajid Nadiadwala-produced Housefull 5 have failed to attract the desired footfalls and BO numbers. 'Housefull 5 was not successful because the cost of production was too high (around ₹250 crore). It will, at the most, make around ₹170 crore…Still, the film is in loss,' said Wankhede. After the opening weekend, the movie has seen a spike in its BO collection due to the ticket price offers on Tuesdays. In May, the producers (Maddock Films) of Rajkummar Rao-starrer Bhool Chuk Maaf had suddenly decided to release the movie directly on Amazon Prime Video, which was later released in theatres due to a court order. This order came after PVR INOX took Maddock Films to court for changing its decision to release the movie in theatres. The cumulative BO collection for January-May was up by 27 per cent to ₹4,812 crore compared to the same period last year, according to an Ormax Media report. These attempts by the industry come at a time when film producers are still in a 'wait-and-watch' mode and are thinking twice before starting to work on movies. This comes as several films have not made money at the BO. Some have not even recovered their costs.
