During the filming of her latest vlog with Shreyas Talpade, Farah Khan revealed how Shah Rukh Khan generously took 50 crew members of the Happy New Year team to Dubai for the film's premiere.
What's Happening
- Speaking about how Shah Rukh Khan took everyone along, Farah said, "Shah Rukh is like this. He took everyone along when he went to London for the Om Shanti Om premiere. That time, you were just four people, but in Happy New Year he took 50 people to Dubai for the premiere. He took everybody - DOP, music director and assistant director. But we were so tired, the whole star cast fell asleep at the premiere."
- Farah Khan also praised Shah Rukh Khan for waiving a Rs 42 lakh Digital Cinema Package (DCP) bill for the Marathi film Deool Band 2.
- The makers of the film had used Shah Rukh Khan's production company, Red Chillies Entertainment, to process the DCP format, which is essential for theatrical screenings. However, when SRK learned that the makers were struggling to release the film because of the payment, the Pathaan actor waived the bill.
