New Delhi: Kareena Kapoor, Jaideep Ahlawat and Vijay Verma starrer 'Jaane Jaan' seems to be doing really well on Netflix. Sujoy Ghosh's directorial is receiving praise from all quarters. Now, it seems that Shah Rukh Khan, who is riding high on the success of 'Jawan' also enjoyed the film. Speaking at India Today's Mumbai Conclave, actors Vijay Varma and Jaideep Ahlawat revealed that the megastar SRK liked 'Jaane Jaan'.
At the conclave, Jaideep and Verma shared that SRK personally called them both to shower his praise on the Kareena Kapoor led film. While Sujoy Ghosh shared that he loved Shah Rukh Khans' recently released 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan', Vijay Varma said, "I enjoyed ‘Jawan’ as well. It was wild. It was so good and fun. Mr Shah Rukh Khan enjoyed ‘Jaane Jaan’ as well. He called us, he called me and he called Jaideep.”
Jaideep Ahlawat added, "That was the moment. He called me and said ‘agar aap bohot zyada busy nahi hain, toh apse thodi si baat karni hain. Shah Rukh bol raha hoon.’ Maine unse kahan, ‘agar mujhe heart attack aaya toh uske zimmedaar aap honge!’”
Vijay Verma then went on to praise the superstar and said, "We are living in his phase like we are living in Shah Rukh’s shadow. Everything about this incredible man is so inspiring in so many ways. He set a benchmark right now which only he can cross. As a person, as an actor, as a personality, as a star, and I can count every opportunity, every time I've met him. It's so significant, even it is a five-second meeting or a handshake, whatever it is. You remember your time with him. He's one of those people, he touches your heart.”
Jaideep Ahlawat, who also worked with King Khan in Raees, shared, "So many films. While we were growing up, ‘Baazigar’, “DDLJ’, they were huge hits, madness. But I'm fortunate enough working with him for a very small part in ‘Raaes’ and it just happened. Somebody else was cast for that role and something happened, and then on the 11th hour, I was finalised at 11.30 in the night and the call time was 7 in the morning. So I worked with him for four days and it was most amazing experience. I always say working with Shah Rukh Khan is you can't describe it. You have to experience it, as simple as that. The way he treats you, the way he talks to you and make you so important, it's mesmerising. He remembers every single thing. The day he called me, he was talking about ‘Raaes’.”
Meanwhile, 'Jaane Jaan' which was released on September 21 on Netflix has been trending number 1 on the streaming service in many countries. The film is an official adaptation of the Japanese novel 'The Devotion of Suspect X'.
