Filmmaker
Yash
Chopra,
who
teamed
up
with
Shahrukh
Khan
for
over
half-a-dozen
films
in
the
past
two
decades,
said
the
actor
never
sought
to
know
the
story
or
the
fees
he
would
be
paid,
when
offered
a
role
by
the
veteran
filmmaker.
Yash
Raj
banner
and
Shahrukh
came
together
in
Darr
(1993)
for
the
first
time.
After
Darr,
Shah
Rukh
Khan
worked
with
Chopras
in
the
superhit
Dilwale
Dulhania
Le
Jayenge
(1995),
Dil
To
Pagal
Hai
(1997),
Mohabbatein
(2000),
Veer
Zaara
(2004)
and
Rab
Ne
Bana
Di
Jodi
(2008).
"I
have
always
had
great
experience
working
with
him.
He
is
one
actor
who
has
never
asked
me
what
the
story
is
about,
how
much
money
he
will
charge...whatever
amount
I
send
him
through
cheque
he
takes
that
and
rather
asks
me
why
I
gave
such
a
huge
amount," said
Chopra,
who
turned
80
on
Thursday.
"He
does
not
meet
me
before
we
start
shooting,
he
says
why
to
meet...i
don't
want
to
know
the
story,
don't
want
to
talk
about
money
so
why
to
meet.
It
is
all
because
he
has
faith
in
me."
After
Veer
Zara,
Shahrukh
and
Yash
Chopra
have
joined
hands
in
upcoming
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan.
Mr
Chopra
is
making
his
directorial
comeback
after
a
gap
of
eight
years.
"After
Veer
Zaara,
I
wanted
to
make
something
different
and
nice....soul-touching
film.
That
is
when
I
told
Aditya,
my
son,
that
I
want
to
direct
a
film.
This
film
is
a
gift
to
me
by
Aditya.
He
told
me
'make
the
film
dad
and
I
am
there
to
provide
all
kind
of
help'."
While
Gulzaar
has
penned
the
lyrics,
AR
Rahman
has
composed
the
music.
"I
am
happy
that
I
am
working
with
both
of
them.
It
is
magical
to
have
them," Mr
Chopra
said.
