When Amitabh Bachchan told his ‘badi shikayat’ to Shah Rukh Khan after he rejected Badla poster, here’s what happened next

As a lifelong connoisseur of Bollywood, I have had the privilege of witnessing some truly extraordinary collaborations, but none compare to the unparalleled magic that is Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan. Their on-screen chemistry is riveting, their mutual respect palpable, and their camaraderie off-screen warms the cockles of one’s heart.


In the realm of Indian cinema, two legendary actors, Shah Rukh Khan and Amitabh Bachchan, have graced the silver screen together in numerous unforgettable films. Their partnership has proven to be an unbeatable on-screen combination, with films such as Mohabbatein, Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Veer-Zaara, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, and Bhoothnath among their collaborations. The bond between these two stars is evident not only in their acting but also in their mutual admiration for one another, which extends beyond the camera’s lens. In a past interview, Amitabh Bachchan shared a story where Shah Rukh Khan, in his role as a producer, refused to approve one of his movie posters. However, it was what SRK did next that left everyone astonished, further solidifying his reputation as the ‘King’.

In an earlier discussion at Red Chillies Entertainment, Big B expressed his significant dissatisfaction about a poster for the movie ‘Badla’ being turned down by Shah Rukh Khan’s team. When inquired about the reason, the actor from ‘Pink’ remembered being informed that the decision was made because the “superior” felt it wouldn’t be effective.

Shah Rukh Khan made it clear that he isn’t considered as the boss in his office, stating that the rejection of the poster was simply misunderstood. He confessed that, being a big admirer himself, he had retained the poster for personal collection. Furthermore, the actor from Jawan shared that he owns two valuable posters from Deewar and Sholay, both signed by Big B years ago during a movie shoot with Dilip Kumar.

He further explained that the Badla poster was special to him, and he wished to get it signed by Bachchan. He added, that he wanted to display it in his room.

Amitabh Bachchan is known for his vast experience and serious demeanor, while Shah Rukh Khan adds energetic charm to their collaborative projects, making them legendary. Behind the scenes, they have a friendly and respectful bond, frequently expressing admiration for each other’s achievements in Bollywood cinema.

Simultaneously on his professional life, Bachchan recently appeared in the science fiction film ‘Kalki 2898 AD,’ which was alongside Deepika Padukone, Prabhas, and Disha Patani, among others. This Nag Ashwin production received favorable reviews from both fans and critics. Next up, he will team up with Rajinikanth in the movie titled ‘Vettaiyan.’

In contrast, you can expect Shah Rukh Khan to appear in the upcoming film “King,” directed by Sujoy Ghosh. Alongside him will be Suhana Khan and Abhishek Bachchan. The movie is known for its rapid pace and intense action-thriller elements.
