‘Don’t understand scripts’

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan says he never listens to a script and rather chooses to understand the filmmaker’s vision while choosing a film. “I normally, and even till date — which might finally, ultimately, 75 years from now lead to my downfall - never listen to a script. I listen to the heartbeats of people I work with. There are young actors who sit with me and say ‘Sir you left that script, it was so amazing!’ I never understand a script. I can say this openly, cross my heart and say, I’ve never understood a script. I’ve understood the script-maker or filmmaker at the end of the whole pages of dialogues,” he said.

The actor was speaking at a special celebration to mark 20 years of “Kuch Kuch Hota Hai”, along with director Karan Johar and co-stars Kajol and Rani Mukerji, on Tuesday night. — PTI
