Quotes
Ratan Jain
Producer who worked with Shah Rukh Khan on 90s blockbusters.
“First, Shah Rukh called Hari Singh, who used to handle my work, and lashed out at him severely. He must have hurled abuses as well. Then he called me and said, 'You are replacing me with Saif?' He was angry and asked, 'Saif, who?' I explained that it just slipped out of my mouth. But he said, 'It doesn't work that way. What's in your mind, you said it.' I told him, 'I can't take back the words I said, but what's done is done.' Then he said, 'Let's do one thing: I'll complete the film I'm doing for you, Baadshah, and after that, we won't work together.'”

“Aziz said if Shah Rukh doesn't want to do the film, we will make it with somebody else. And while talking to Shah Rukh, I ended up saying, 'If you don't want to do it, I will make it with Saif.' That was a huge mistake. I don't know how it slipped out of my mouth.”
