SRK and KJo indulge in a friendly banter in their latest commercial
Shah Rukh Khan and iconic filmmaker Karan Johar, known for their long-standing friendship and successful collaborative work in Bollywood, were recently seen coming together yet again – though not in the capacity usually associated with them. The duo featured in a new television commercial where they engaged in amusing verbal jousting.
As per the ad film, SRK is seen traveling in his car and greeting fans lined along the roadside. However, his joyride is interrupted by Johar who jumps in with objections to Khan working on the project. What follows is a amusing exchange of words between the two as Johar cites his reason for not wanting his friend to promote the brand, while Khan politely but firmly defends his decision.
Their hilarious back-and-forth, punctuated by laughter and Johar's melodramatic reactions, continues until the latter shuts his ears in mock protest. The light-hearted banter highlights the camaraderie and chemistry between the two industry giants known to have delivered multiple blockbuster films together.
Johar has directed SRK in some of Bollywood's most iconic romances including Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham and Ae Dil Hai Mushkil to name a few. While the duo reunites for this commercial, fans still await news of their next cinematic collaboration. Both stars currently have upcoming films in the pipeline individually.
The ad surely managed to grab eyeballs through its ingenious concept featuring the friendship between the ‘King of Romance' and one of Hindi cinema's most influential directors. It presents a refreshing change to see them come together for a project, albeit in a unconventional manner.
