SRK hates love stories, Dil Se his favourite film: Director Nikkhil Advani

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan doesn't enjoy love stories, contrary to popular belief. At least that is what director-producer Nikkhil Advani lightly claimed in a recent interview.

In Short

• Shah Rukh Khan dislikes love stories despite his romantic image
• His favourite films include Dil Se, Hey Ram, and Darr
• Shah Rukh is currently preparing for his next film, King, with daughter Suhana Khan

This might come as somewhat of a surprise to his die-hard fans, but superstar Shah Rukh Khan is not too fond of love stories. Yes, you read that right. Apparently, this is true since director-producer Nikkhil Advani recently claimed the same during a recent interview and said, "Shah Rukh hates love stories."

Speaking on the podcast, Cyrus Says, Nikkhil said, "Shah Rukh and I used to have these conversations so many times that ‘Karan and Adi (producer Aditya Chopra) only do love stories, let us do something different.’ Shah Rukh hates love stories. Considering that he is known as King Khan and King of Romance, this and that, but he hates love stories. Dil Se is his favourite film. He keeps talking about his favourite sequences from the films Hey Ram and Darr. He loves his film Ram Jaane, where he is wearing a headband.”

"Shah Rukh Khan had this habit. Every time Karan or Adi would make him hear a new song and tell him their plans of shooting it in Switzerland and stuff, he would always come back and call the other film better. He used to constantly do that,” the director added.

During the interview, Nikkhil Advani also disclosed that it was SRK who had choreographed the iconic basketball sequence from Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and said, "Even when you see Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, he gets a credit called thrills. At the beginning of the film, he gets credit for thrills. It is because he treated the basketball sequence in Kuch Kuch Hota Hai like an action scene. He choreographed it.”

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki. He has Sujoy Ghosh's King in the pipeline, where he will be seen sharing screen space with his daughter and actor Suhana Khan.
