3 reasons why SRK was at the music launch of Kochadaiiyaan

Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan on Sunday gave three reasons why he readily agreed to be a part of the music launch of Kochadaiiyaan in Chennai.

Talking to the media gathering in Tamilnadu, SRK said “I came here for three reasons”

Reason 1: “Like all of you, I am a big Rajinikanth fan” said Khan while sharing a two decade old story, at a time when he was new to the industry and Rajnikanth was shooting for a Hindi film.

“I saw from far away that he was standing in front of a big mirror and practising throwing cigarette in his mouth. There were a lot of actors minding their own business, but Rajni sir kept on practising. He was getting it right like he does every time in the film, but he kept practising. That’s one of my learning lessons of my life because someone of his talent and stature keeps on working so hard” Khan said, while sharing a two decade old story, at a time when he was new to Mumbai went to see Rajnikanth shooting for an Hindi film.

Reason 2: Friendship

“I was in need of a lot of help during the making of ‘Ra One’, and I would like to thank Rajni sir, Soundarya and Lata ma’am for helping me out overnight. I have come as a friend because whenever I came to Chennai or Tamilnadu, all of you have given me so much of love”

Reason 3: Knowledge

“I came here as a seeker of knowledge because the films made here actually make our country the proudest. The films by K. Balachander sir, Shankar sir and so many others have taught so much in cinema.”

“I was extremely excited when four years ago Soundarya talked about her ambitious project because this is going to change cinema in this country. I believe this technology is going to be one of the finest steps in Indian film industry”
