Ranbir Kapoor spoke in an recently held media interaction of his film 'Jagga Jasoos' that he wants money from Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan
Ranbir Kapoor and Shah Rukh Khan
The title of Shah Rukh Khan's film 'Jab Harry Met Sejal' was received with mixed responses. Whilst Imtiaz Ali and his team kept people guessing if the name would be 'Rehnuma' or 'Raula' or 'The Ring', 'When Harry Met Sejal' was the title they all agreed upon. While some of his ardent fans are looking forward to see SRK in his romantic avatar once again, some decided to make fun of the title. But little do we know, Shah Rukh Khan is not to be blamed for the title. It should be Ranbir Kapoor who deserves the bouquets and brickbats! In fact SRK even tweeted something similar to this claim.
At a recently held event of Ranbir Kapoor's film 'Jagga Jasoos' the Kapoor scion spoke how he suggested the title 'When Harry Met Sejal'. He spoke,"It so happened that Shah Rukh Sir, Imtiaz Sir and Anushka Sharma were shooting together in Mehboob studios. We were sitting in a van and discussing titles. When I suggested 'Jab Harry Met Sejal', they first rubbished it and said it was a bad title. Cut to now they have released the poster of the film with the name I had suggested. So I am proud of the fact that I had a small part to play in this great and dream collaboration of SRK and Imtiaz. But I didn't know anything about the reward, so now I am going to Mannat and collecting my Rs. 5000 from SRK."
'Jab Harry Met Sejal' is directed by Imtiaz Ali and stars Shah Rukh Khan and Anushka Sharma in the lead roles. The film will release on August 4.
