MUMBAI: Once more, Abhijeet Bhattacharya has discussed his falling out with Shah Rukh Khan. The singer has contributed vocals to other SRK movies, such as Om Shanti Om and Main Hoon Na. Abhijeet has been vocal in the past few years about not getting enough credit for his songs in Shah Rukh Khan films. Now, he has talked about it in a recent interview.
Abhijeet revealed, “This is something Shah Rukh Khan knows very well. There's no difference between us; our birthdays are just one day apart. We have the same nature, We both know what we're going to be. If I go to him today, I can tell him, as his senior by 6-7 years, Enough of the drama, you are a star and always will be. But if I come back into the picture, then it will be me, not him.”
He added, “Kabhi aisa lagta hai ki wo bhi aisa aadmi hai ki itraata hai.. Ya toh uske pass bilkul waqt nahi hai.. Lekin wo aisa nahi hai, mai apne aap ko janta hu toh usko bhi bhot acche se janta hu, jabki mera koi close bond nahi, lekin usko itna pata hai ki muje chot phochi hai.”
In 2018, Abhijeet even mentioned that SRK was a superstar till he sang for him adding, “Mera kaam tha superstar banana mere awaz se. Till the time I sang for Shah Rukh, he was a rockstar. When I stopped singing for him - it was me who refused to sing for him - he came down to Lungi Dance.”
Speaking about not getting credit for Om shanti Om and Main Hoon Na, Abhijeet said, “I don't know why our filmmakers never give singers due credit. During the end credits of Main Hoon Na, the singers' names appeared right at the end. Worst still, segments were shot with the chaiwalas and dressmen, but not with singers. My family saw the film and felt betrayed. The same happened with Om Shanti Om. And here I am... Shah Rukh Khan's voice! I conveyed my disappointment to Farah Khan and Shah Rukh Khan.”
SRK’s fans meanwhile have reacted to Abjijeet’s accusations on the superstar saying, “How Dare he say something like that!”, another commented, “He has lost his mind, he needs a reality check’, Another wrote, ‘Shah Rukh Sir does not need anyone to make him a star, he is a self made man!’
