When Yash Chopra Chastised Shah Rukh Khan: A Look Back

In the video, the filmmaker is seen telling SRK, "You are one actor whom I have met in 20 years, who has never asked me about the story of any of my films. You have always said, 'Adi has written, you are directing? I'll do.' You never asked me about how much money am I going to give you for the film."

Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan once got a scolding from the late filmmaker Yash Chopra.

An old video of both the gentlemen having a chat has now resurfaced on the internet.

You have always said, 'Adi has written, you are directing? I'll do.' You never asked me about how much money am I going to give you for the film."

He further told him, "You have never taken a penny from me during the production of any of my films.". For whatever I gave you in the last week before the release of the film, you would call me and say, 'I think you have given a little bit more to me.' I remember we were making a film and I called you angrily and told you that, 'I'm about to start the film, why are you missing in action? 'I know you must be busy but we should meet once before the film goes on floor.'

Later, the filmmaker told the media present in the gathering, "SRK then said, 'Let's settle this once and for all. Why shall I meet you? I won't listen to the story from you, whatever money you would give to me, I'll accept. Both of us have an understanding, and once I start working on your film, I won't work on any other film until your film is completed.'"

Yash Chopra and SRK shared a long history since 'Darr'.
