Javed Sheikh told the reason for 1 rupee fee
Javed Sheikh told, ‘His manager came to me and said that he needed to sign the contract. I said yes’. ‘What will be your fee?’ I said that I will not take any money. The thing is, first of all it is an honor for me that I am playing Shahrukh’s father in his biggest film till date. There are many actors in India. Whoever you choose, he will happily agree to play Shahrukh’s father. But Shah Rukh and Farah Khan chose me, and it’s an honor for me. That’s why I will not take any money because of Farah and Shahrukh.
