Filmmaker Kabir Khan recently praised actor Shah Rukh Khan’s generosity for lending his voice to his web series The forgotten army without charging any costs. Kabir Khan revealed that he decided to take a chance by pitching the idea to Shah Rukh Khan, who immediately agreed without any hesitation. In an interview with Mashable India, Kabir Khan reminisced about considering Shah Rukh Khan for the voiceover. He shared: “When I made The Forgotten Army and those who have seen it, before each episode there is a 30 second introduction with a voiceover that gives you the historical context of that episode. I thought who should tell the story and I thought Shah Rukh Khan should do it. I took a shot and called him and said, ‘Shah Rukh, there is a series I have done on Azad Hind Fauj, will you voice it?’ And again, without blinking, he said, “Of course.”
Kabir Khan continued and expressed his gratitude for Shah Rukh Khan’s gesture and said, “He just came to the dubbing studio in Bandra. He did the voiceover for free. He refused to take money. He did it because we already know each other. He has always been so kind and generous with his affection. It was so special. He is someone I knew before he joined the industry. I was friends with Gauri.”
For the inexperienced, The forgotten army tells the story of the Indian National Army, also known as Azad Hind Fauj. During the interview, Kabir also revealed an intriguing detail about Shah Rukh Khan’s father and said, “This is something that many people don’t know. Shah Rukh’s father was very closely associated with General Shah Nawaz Khan and General Shah Nawaz Khan is there one of.” of Netaji’s generals Azad Hind Fauj. He was among the top generals in Azad Hind Fauj and Shah Rukh’s father was close to him, so he has a connection with Azad Hind Fauj. The forgotten army starred Sharvari Wagh and Sunny Kaushal in key roles.
Meanwhile, Kabir Khan’s upcoming directorial venture is underway Chandu Championstarring Kartik Aaryan.
