Shah Rukh Khan, Imtiaz a great combo for romantic films: Anushka

Anushka Sharma will be romancing superstar Shah Rukh Khan in her next and the actress says the icing on the cake for her is that it will be helmed by Imtiaz Ali, whose love stories are known to be intense.

While Anushka made her Bollywood debut opposite Shah Rukh in Aditya Chopra’s love story 'Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi', the 28-year-old actress does not consider it the quintessential romance film.

“I had always wanted to do an out-and-out romantic film with Shah Rukh. ‘Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi’ wasn’t that romantic because for most part of the film I did not know who the guy was! The film with Imtiaz is sweet, happy, romantic,” Anushka Sharma said.

The actress says Imtiaz’s understanding of a man-woman relationship (in an intense way) combined with Shah Rukh’s charismatic style of romance will be a treat to watch.“There is a growth in his characters during the course of the film; love teaches them.

I think that’s the beauty of his romantic movies. Shah Rukh is the king of romance; he redefined love to an entire generation. His intensity as an actor and humility as a person is going to come across on screen. It’s a great opportunity for me to work with the king of romance and a director, whose love stories are always so special and romantic.”
