However, King Shah Rukh Khan and Tollywood actor Jagapati Babu are associated with two separate film industries. However, their connection within films is quite unique, and this information will surprise you! Jagapati Babu disclosed this fascinating fact during an interview.
According to Jagapati Babu, he had the lead role in a Telugu film titled "Antapuram," which was released in 1998. The actor was cast in the role of Sarai Veerraju, a petty thief who sacrificed his life to save a woman and her kid. This film was well-received by moviegoers.
Afterward, another Hindi remake of the same film was launched, titled "Shakti: The Power." It was also directed by Krishna Vamsi, who had also directed the Telugu version. In this version, Shah Rukh Khan portrayed the same character, and Karisma Kapoor played Soundarya.
Jagapati Babu recalled that Shah Rukh became very upset while filming a particular scene. He said, "There was a smoking and death scene at the end of the film, which Shah Rukh recreated. Perhaps the scene wasn't working out as it should have. At that time, he said something angrily, which I can't explain, but it was the biggest compliment of my life."
The actor further explained that when he later met Shah Rukh Khan, he asked him if he had really said that about him. Shah Rukh smiled and said he didn't mean it that way. But for Jagapathi Babu, that statement remains the most special compliment.
Shah Rukh Khan's next film is "King," which is being produced by Siddharth Anand. Deepika Padukone will be seen in the lead role with him in this film.
