Yash Chopra got Shahrukh Khan when he was cheap?

Theatre personality Vikram Kapadia, who is currently working in filmmaker Vikram Bhatt's TV production Bisaat Rishton Ka (earlier titled Kurukshetra), thinks that Bollywood is "like a dead pitch - the ball doesn't come up to the bat".

During an interview with Bollywood Life, Kapadia said that he doesn't look for work in Bollywood. In fact, taking a dig at the Yash Raj Films, Vikram said that YRF does not respect its actors. He said that Yash Chopra and his company got Shahrukh Khan when he was cheap. "Yeah, but they got him when he was cheap," Vikram said.

Shahrukh Khan's collaboration with YRF had given us some of the biggest blockbusters like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Mohabbatein, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, Dil Toh Pagal Hai, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and had made SRK an eternal romantic hero. From playing an obsessed lover Rahul Mehra (Darr) to an innocent lover boy Raj Malhotra (DDLJ), Yash Raj Films made the nation love SRK for his iconic roles.
