Producer\u00a0Renu Chopra\u00a0praised\u00a0Shah Rukh Khan for funding her son’s debut film Ittefaq<\/em>\u00a0without charging interest.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The late filmmaker Ravi Chopra’s wife and producer Renu Chopra, in a recent interview, lauded Shah Rukh Khan’s generosity. She recalled how Shah Rukh supported her son\u00a0Abhay Chopra’s directorial debut\u00a0Ittefaq<\/em>\u00a0when they lacked funds and even refused to charge interest on the amount.<\/p>\n

Renu Chopra reminisced about how Shah Rukh Khan came on board for the 2017 film\u00a0Ittefaq<\/em>. She said, “When we were making\u00a0Ittefaq<\/em>, Shah Rukh’s office and our office shared a common wall. We decided to make the film with him. I asked him if I should come over, but he said, ‘No, you don\u2019t need to come; I will come to you.’ However, when he didn\u2019t visit for three weeks, I decided to take the initiative.”<\/p>\n

Recalling her meeting with Shah Rukh, Chopra shared, “When I reached out to him, he welcomed me with an open heart and asked what I needed. When I told him I didn\u2019t have the funds to invest in the film, he said, ‘I will provide it.’ I told him my son would make the film with all his heart. It was my youngest son Abhay’s first film. He didn\u2019t even read the script and agreed to support it. He said, ‘If your son is involved, I will stand by him.'”<\/p>\n

She revealed that the superstar refused to take interest. When the film was completed, like all other financial arrangements, there is usually an interest rate, but Shah Rukh said, “No, this is haram for me. I will not take it.”<\/p>\n

Ittefaq<\/em>\u00a0was produced by Shah Rukh Khan and written and directed by Abhay Chopra. The film starred\u00a0Sidharth Malhotra,\u00a0Akshaye Khanna, and\u00a0Sonakshi Sinha\u00a0in lead roles and performed well at the box office.<\/p>\n

Shah Rukh Khan will next be seen in the action-thriller film\u00a0King<\/em>. Directed by\u00a0Siddharth Anand, the film reportedly features\u00a0Abhishek Bachchan\u00a0and Shah Rukh’s daughter\u00a0Suhana Khan\u00a0in significant roles.<\/p>\n

At an event in Dubai’s Global Village, SRK spoke about the film and said, “I am not just shooting it here; I will continue shooting it in Mumbai when I return in two months. My director Siddharth Anand is very strict. He said not to tell people about the film or what you are doing in it. So, I can\u2019t tell you, but I assure you it will entertain you. You will enjoy it.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
