Juhi Chawla, known for her frequent collaborations with Shah Rukh Khan, recently shed light on the intriguing backstory behind his now-iconic stammering dialogue, “K-K-K-Kiran,” from their 1993 film Darr.

Observant Shah Rukh Khan Borrows From Yash Chopra
During an appearance at the Gujarat Chamber of Commerce & Industry, Chawla revealed, “I hadn’t noticed it, but Shah Rukh was observant. Yash ji [Chopra, the film’s director] used to stammer a little, and Shah Rukh told me he picked up that mannerism from him.” She further elaborated, “He said, ‘I am going to use it in the film,’ and that’s how it started. Thank God for that!”

Released in 1993 under the Yash Raj Films banner, Darr features SRK as Rahul Mehra, a dangerous stalker obsessed with Kiran (played by Chawla). Kiran is married to Sunny Deol’s character, making his portrayal of the anti-hero.
When Shah Rukh Khan Narrated Story Behind Stammer  
Interestingly, in the Netflix docuseries The Romantics released last year, he himself revealed a slightly different account of the stammer’s development. He mentioned drawing inspiration from a classmate who stammered and in-depth discussions with Aditya Chopra, Yash Chopra’s son and assistant director on the film.

Shah Rukh explained, “The idea was that people become aware of one specific sound, and it becomes like a sharp current, making it difficult to say that particular word.” He added, “I suggested to Yashji that I use this with the character, focusing on the name of the woman he loves. So, the stammer only occurs when he says ‘Kiran.'”

Coming to the professional front, Juhi was last seen in Netflix’s original show, The Railway Men while Shah Rukh’s last big screen release was Dunki. Shah Rukh, who is currently vacationing in London, will be soon sharing the screen space with his daughter Suhana Khan in Sujoy Ghosh’s King.

Nearly 12 years after the release of the action-comedy film Son of Sardaar, Ajay Devgn is returning with the sequel, sparking curiosity about the cast. While initial reports suggested that neither Sonakshi Sinha nor Sanjay Dutt would reprise their roles, there’s a fresh update for fans of Dutt’s character. Mid-day has reported that Sanjay Dutt has indeed signed on for the sequel, titled Son of Sardaar 2. However, there’s a key twist – the film will be a completely new story, not a continuation of the original plot.

“The sequel is a fresh story,” a source told the publication. “It won’t pick up where the original film left off.” This news might leave some fans wondering about the roles of Devgn and Dutt. The source assured that while the narrative is new, the actors will likely retain their character names – Ajay Devgn as Jaswinder “Jassi” Singh Randhawa and Sanjay Dutt as Balwinder “Billu” Singh Sandhu.

Though the names remain the same, the source emphasized a significant change in the characters’ dynamic. “Their on-screen relationship was a hilarious rivalry in Son of Sardaar,” they explain. “This time, however, their rivalry will be much more intense, with Sanjay’s character leaning towards the antagonist side. Despite their on-screen conflict, Ajay and Sanjay are close friends in real life. Ajay specifically ensured that Sanjay has a fantastic role in the second part.”

Son of Sardaar 2 will be helmed by Vijay Kumar Arora, a successful Punjabi director who previously collaborated with Devgn as the director of photography for the 2014 film Action Jackson.

Arora plans to kick off the action-comedy around July-end, with a 50-day shooting schedule in Scotland. The location choice is particularly interesting. Scotland boasts stunning landscapes – castles, historic towns, lochs (lakes), and beaches – that have served as backdrops for iconic films like Game of Thrones and the Harry Potter series. “The direction team conducted a recce earlier this year and finalized some scenic locations. These include the towns of Glencoe and Glenfinnan, along with landmarks like Culross Palace, Doune Castle, Preston Mill, and Falkland Palace,” the source revealed.

These picturesque locales are expected to perfectly complement the film’s blend of action and drama, envisioned by the director. The source adds that a few romantic songs featuring Devgn and the female lead, Mrunal Thakur, will also be filmed in Scotland.

Meanwhile, Ajay Devgn is currently working on Rohit Shetty’s Singham Again and is expected to wrap up the shoot next week. After that, he will fully dedicate himself to Son of Sardaar 2. Once the Scotland schedule is complete, Devgn will reportedly head to London to begin filming for De De Pyaar De 2.

Director Atlee is reportedly in talks with none other than Salman Khan and Kamal Haasan for his next mega-budget action thriller. This potential collaboration has the makings of a true Pan-India spectacle, bringing together two of Indian cinema’s biggest superstars.

According to sources close to the development, as reported by Pinkvilla, Atlee has been discussing the project with both actors for several months now, and things seem promising. “It’s a two-hero film that demands the presence of genuine superstars,” revealed a source. “Both Kamal Haasan and Salman Khan are excited about the idea and the potential collaboration. They’ve given a yes in principle, but paperwork will be finalized after a complete narration later this month.”

“After the success of Jawan,” the source continued, “Atlee has set his sights on creating the biggest action spectacle Indian cinema has ever seen. Talking to these two megastars is a big step in that direction.” The source further revealed that Atlee aims to begin filming by early next year, making this a highly anticipated project for fans of both actors and action thrillers.

Sources suggest Atlee envisions a film that transcends regional boundaries and showcases Indian cinema on a global stage. Details about the film’s plot and character sketches are still under wraps. However, sources hint at a story that will resonate with a global audience.

However, over a week ago, Bollywood Hungama reported that Atlee Kumar was also in talks with Rajinikanth. “Sun Pictures will be producing the film and they share a family-like bond with superstar Rajinikanth. Atlee on the other hand has been in touch with Salman Khan for the last two years. They are confident to get both Rajinikanth and Salman Khan on board,” a trade source told us.

The film in question is yet to get a title but the makers want to take it on floors by the end of 2024. Only time will tell which South superstar will agree to a two-hero project.
