Bollywood Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is unconditionally supporting debutant actor cum director Saahil Prem whose film 'MAD' (Mad About Dance) has released today. The film which is promoting a new genre in the country, is being talked about for various reasons.
"MAD is very different in the sense that this genre is new to our country. So, more than saying that I am promoting him, because no one can promote anyone, I am just standing by him, because I think he has attempted something new and new genres, new actors and new talent should be stood by," said SRK.
The superstar also went all out to praise Saahil, "I've known Saahil since his childhood, but didn't know he wanted to be an actor or a director. It takes a lot to act and direct together, it takes courage to do something different," he added.
In an age where competition can get really cruel, Shah Rukh wants Saahil to keep calm and keep working.
"All I can tell Saahil is, keep doing your work with all you have, everything else is peripheral. Do every film like it's your first film, with the same excitement and do it with such desperation that it's your last film. Film banane se bada koi khwab nahi hota... these dreams are very big dreams and yeh pehla khawab hai Saahil ka, Insha'Allah, MAD should find its place with the audience. There will be many bigger dreams in future, but the first dream, when it comes true, is always special," he stated.
SRK is confident about the film but at the same time shares his formula for success with Saahil. "He has put in a lot of hard work and is going by his heart and I hope it doesn't hurt. And even if it hurts, I would tell him, don't step back and keep on doing what your heart says," said Shah Rukh while sharing words of wisdom for newcomers like Saahil who look up to him as an idol.
