After
making
a
string
of
films
with
Shahrukh
Khan
[
Baazigar,
Badshaah,
Josh,
Yes
Boss,
Main
Hoon
Na],
Ratan
Jain
of
Venus
isn't
working
with
the
superstar
anymore.
Why?
"The
question
should
be
altered
slightly.
Why
isn't
SRK
working
with
me
any
longer?" Ratan
Jain
smiles.
Jokes
apart,
have
they
had
a
bitter
fallout?
"Not
at
all!
The
problem
is,
Shahrukh
has
cut
down
on
his
acting
assignments.
He's
acting
in
hardly
one
or
two
films
every
year.
Plus,
he
has
also
turned
producer.
Even
if
I
approach
him
for
a
film,
the
first
question
he
would
ask
is,
'Okay,
what's
the
script?'
And
the
second
would
be,
"Who's
the
director?'
I
have
none
--
not
a
script
befitting
SRK,
nor
a
director," Ratan
Jain
confides.
Jain
continues
in
the
same
breath,
"Money
has
never
been
an
issue.
After
all,
who
wouldn't
want
to
work
Shahrukh?
Since
he
has
his
production
company
as
well,
we're
open
to
co-producing
the
film
too.
But,
trust
me,
we
don't
have
a
script
yet."
Meanwhile,
the
veteran
producer
is
starting
a
film
with
the
Hera
Pheri
team
of
director
Priyadarshan
and
actors
Akshay
Kumar,
Suniel
Shetty
and
Paresh
Rawal
next.
Three
heroines
are
under
finalization
for
this
project.
Plus,
there's
a
film
with
Abbas-Mustan
as
well.
