They say don’t meet your heroes. Vikram Kochhar would disagree because he experienced the opposite when he worked with superstar Shah Rukh Khan in Dunki. Kochhar, like many others, had been an admirer of Khan, but sharing screen space with him has made him a bigger fan. “I am a bigger fan of Shah Rukh Khan, the human being, than the actor because he is so humble, collaborative, and inclusive. It was like being with a friend. I felt closest to him on the set,” Kochhar chuckles. The actor plays one of Khan’s close friends in the Rajkumar Hirani directorial that revolves around a group of youngsters from Punjab travelling to London using illegal route.
