Shahrukh
is
known
as
the
king
of
romance
but
there
is
another
man
with
whom
he
has
to
share
the
title,
i.e
Yash
Chopra.
Yash
Chopra
was
one
of
the
most
renowned
and
respected
filmmaker
of
his
time.
He
has
directed
timeless
classics
and
have
set
a
benchmark
in
bollywood
for
romantic
films.
On
his
81st
birthday,
the
first
post
his
demise,
Shahrukh
opened
up
his
heart
and
talked
about
the
late
director
at
length.
Shahrukh
said
that
he
learned
a
lot
about
cinema
from
Chopra
and
that
the
filmmaker
was
a
guide
and
a
mentor
to
him.
" He
told
me
that
it
is
important
not
to
curb
my
creativity
as
I
would
not
be
happy
with
the
kind
of
movies
produced.
He
told
me
to
always
follow
my
heart
and
not
worry
about
the
end
result.
Yashji
said
that
if
the
film
work's
it's
good
and
if
they
don't,
then
it's
also
good
as
you
would
not
be
regretting
that
you
could
have
done
something
different.
He
also
gave
me
some
great
production
tips,
like
controlling
the
cost
of
the
movies
I
produce
and
never
to
go
over
board.
I
feel
proud
to
have
been
associated
with
such
a
fearless
filmmaker
and
I
can
say
with
great
pride
that
I
have
starred
in
maximum
of
Yashji's
films.
From
Darr
to
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan
it
has
been
an
amazing
journey." the
47
year
old
actor
said
at
an
event.
Shahrukh
Khan's
first
movie
and
major
hit
with
Yash
Chopra
was
Darr
in
which
he
played
a
obsessive
lover
and
then
went
on
to
star
in
the
late
director's
Dil
To
Pagal
Hai,
Veer
Zaara,
and
finally
his
swan
song
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan.
