Shah Rukh Khan, who recently underwent an operation for shoulder injury, says he postponed the trailer launch of his comedy Chennai Express by a week to fully recover and heal.
“The trailers should have been out [on June 7]. But I need to rest for another week and I need to be comfortable with my shoulder first. I’m still in pain,” said Khan in an interview with The weekend tabloid!.
Chennai Express, directed by comedy king Rohit Shetty and produced by UTV Motion Pictures, will now unveil their trailer in Mumbai on June 13.
However, the 47-year-old matinee idol masked his pain well over the phone as he regaled us about playing a protagonist who led a sheltered life but accidently finds himself in a train bound for South India. His journey into the real world and finding true love forms the backbone of the comedy.
“I haven’t done a comedy in years and it felt good to do a film with Rohit Shetty, who’s extremely intelligent and talented. He’s one of the most exceptional filmmakers I have worked with,” said Khan who has starred in over 70 films.
Touted as India’s biggest movie star, Khan is known for his legendary charm and incredible box office power. What’s more, he even lets us in on whether he was truly comfortable wrapping the ethnic garment lungi (traditional garment worn by South Indian men) around him.
Read all about it in tabloid! soon. Chennai Express hits the theatres on August 8.
