Shah Rukh Khan has made it pretty clear that Yash Chopra‘s 1969 cult classic Ittefaq is one of his favourites. He has admitted that he has always been keen on adapting the film and even acting in it.
But, when SRK couldn’t do it due to prior commitments, he decided to co-produce the suspense thriller with Karan Johar (Dharma Productions) and Renu Ravi Chopra (BR Films). Shah Rukh is extremely happy with the way the upcoming thriller has been directed by Abhay Chopra. But, the person who has impressed Shah Rukh the most is Akshaye Khanna, who portrays the role of a tough cop.
Shah Rukh says,
“Akshaye is unreadable and that’s one of the plus points of the film. Personally, I feel that nobody could have essayed this role better than him. Sidharth Malhotra and Sonakshi Sinha present an able foil to Akshaye’s character in the film, which just adds to his performance and portrayal of this tough, no-nonsense cop.”
SRK goes on to say that he is a big fan of the actor.
“I’ve always been extremely fond of Akshaye and his acting abilities. I’m a big fan of his work. There’s a strange mystique about him that reflects in his acting. He does very little, but conveys a gamut of emotions effortlessly. As an audience, he always keeps you guessing about his character’s journey.”
Ittefaq is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment, BR Studios and Dharma Productions and releases in cinemas tomorrow, 3rd November.
