When I am on a Shah Rukh Khan movie set, I do much more than just be his body double. When did you decide to work independently?Īfter working with Shah Rukh Khan on so many projects, I realised that body doubles and duplicates do not go beyond being the shadow of the real star. That's why I made a film on my own: Premaatur. He inspired me to do more than just be his body double so that I do not fade into obscurity one day.

There have been occasions where I hit him, which led to pin-drop silence on the set.īut he would say, 'Relax everybody. Shah Rukh bhai laughs when I do such scenes.ĭo you never feel intimidated in his presence? There are scenes where the female artist comes running towards me, kisses me and all of that. Since then, I have always been with Shah Rukh.Įverything that I know today about acting, I have learnt it from him.Īt times, the director wants Shah Rukh sir to relax and calls me to do a certain shot in my style. I landed a Kurkure ad after coming to the city.Īfter that, I was called for Om Shanti Om's audition. How did Mumbai treat you on your arrival? She eventually relented and gave me Rs 1,200 for my journey. I told my wife, 'Let me try my luck once and if I don't succeed, I'll do whatever you want.' In 2007, I told my wife that I wanted to go to Mumbai. I had no idea if my efforts would ever bear any fruit but I still continued.

I practised and tried to imitate his famous dialogues and dance moves. I bought hundreds of CDs of Shah Rukh Khan's films and songs. When I used to go on stage, people would start screaming, 'Shah Rukh Khan, Shah Rukh Khan'.Īfter the event, people would approach me for pictures and autographs.Īt that time, I did not know what a look-like or duplicate is. Since I was a choreographer, I used to run a dance institute called Dynamic Dance Academy in Nagpur. I believe it was written in my destiny that I do something in this field and become an artist. Not a single person in my family has anything to do with films. How was your life before gaining recognition as Shah Rukh Khan's look-alike? Whenever I am with him on the set, he will ask me how I am, is everything is fine at home. I was interested in lighting, camera angles, acting, shot division. I would get my own vanity and personal room on the set, but instead of resting there, I would observe and try to learn things. But I enjoyed it.Įver since landing in Mumbai, I have worked on almost all big films of Shah Rukh Khan. Of course, there have been days when I had nothing to eat, no place to sleep. That acting bug bit me very hard ( laughs). It was a very interesting field and I got addicted to it. I went through several ups and downs in life after I started working with him. I have been a huge fan of Shah Rukh Khan as long as I can remember. I came to Mumbai from Nagpur to become a choreographer in Hindi movies in 2007. It has been almost 15 years since I have been working with Shah Rukh Khan as his body double or duplicate.īefore starting my career as his look-alike, I was a choreographer.
