Shah Rukh the 'early bird'


Shah Rukh Khan wasn’t joking when he sang I am the best. Take the recent case which happened on the sets of his home production, Billoo Barber.

A source present on the sets said, “The film’s director, Priyadarshan, was chatting with SRK one day, when he casually mentioned the dedication and discipline of some lead actors like Akshay Kumar, Govinda and Salman Khan. Priyan also cited some examples about their professionalism and how they always report early to the sets. That’s when SRK took up the challenge to follow suit.”

When contacted, Priyadarshan, who is currently shooting in Pollachi, laughed and said, “I was casually telling SRK that Akshay, Govinda and Salman always come earlier than the scheduled reporting time to the sets. At times they are on the sets even before me. That’s when SRK took up the challenge of reaching the sets earlier than me.”

And guess what! The very next morning, SRK who used to generally report to the sets by 9 am, was there at 7 am. Priyadarshan added, “I was on my way to the location when I saw Shah Rukh’s car speed past mine. He reported to the sets before 7 am.” Billoo Barber also stars Lara Dutta, Om Puri and Irrfan Khan.
