00:00It's a little awkward, you know, for co-actors and anyone to ask us why you choose so and

00:12so, I think people do feel that because it's a male-dominated industry, the actors choose.

00:18I think Deepika is kind enough to consent to work on a world tour, which I'm also participating

00:23in, and that's the fact.

00:24You know, so it's a little wrong to say who chooses and all.

00:28I'm nobody to choose anyone, it's a team that is prepared, and you normally hope for

00:33an ideal team, it's like a dream team that can we get, say Shah Rukh, to be a part of

00:37it.

00:38I'm not showing off, but I'm saying, okay, can we get Shah Rukh to do this?

00:40You know, if Deepika would do this, this would be wonderful, if we can get this actor, sometimes

00:44we get all of them.

00:45I think we're lucky enough that, okay, we're lucky enough they got the both of us together.

00:51I don't have to pay, I was telling, I'm joking, I don't pay her, I was just joking about a

00:55contract and stuff.

00:56I don't know what a contract is, but she's priceless, so there's no price to it, it doesn't

01:00come easy to me.

01:01They know my status.

01:02They know my status.

01:03Okay, thanks.

01:04That's really heartening and encouraging.

01:05No, it doesn't come easy to me.

01:06I need to work a lot, I'm not a very good, technically prepared dancer, I think I can

01:17move to a beat, but beyond that, for 22 years, even in films it's difficult, I have to try

01:22twice as hard to make it look half as good as Deepika does.

01:25It becomes very nice if you've done a film together, and if it's done well, and if it's

01:29done as well as Chennai Express, if you can get the whole team to come together because

01:33you have relevant songs, but like Deepika's in so many films, she's on Yeh Jawaani, which

01:37has got some fantastic songs, Cocktail, before that even my favourite song is from Desi Boys,

01:44and Raat Sohne Na De, and then Chennai Express, and we're doing Happy New Year, but we won't

01:51be able to use Happy New Year songs, and we've done some great songs from Om Shanti

01:55Om, so it kind of makes it a good fit, so like I said, it's all designed together like

02:01this, there's no question of who'd say no, yes, how, what, where, when, it's a team,

02:07and when you get that team together, it's really nice, and I think this is the best

02:10we could have had, and I'm genuinely very happy, we didn't know if Deepika would have

02:15the dates to do this, but the last 2-3 days, she kind of worked that out.

02:20I think the reason why people look forward to working with Shah Rukh is because it's

02:23never about, he never makes you feel like it's about him, even if it is, you know, he's

02:30always so giving and so kind to everyone who's working, and he really, I mean everyone really

02:37works as a team, and I think that's one of the main reasons, and of course the fact that

02:42he makes sure that whatever you do, you have fun, and you enjoy yourself, and I think that's

02:47why anyone will go out of their way to sort of, you know, work with him.

02:50You can take a bath with me if you want, that's one thing, I've had a massage which hasn't

02:56worked so far.

02:57Your manager just said no.

02:58No?

02:59No bath?

03:00She just said no.

03:01Okay, okay, okay, can people sleep with me?

03:03No.

03:04Okay, sorry.

03:05Oh my god.

03:06Alright, so, okay, Access Zero, what we want to do actually is two things, Access All Areas

03:12has two meanings, one of it is that on stage we'll make this more interactive, one, you

03:18know shows otherwise can end up just being a song and dance performance, which I've never

03:22liked personally.

03:23Second, we'd like to perform to what people would like to listen to, so we'll have contests

03:27and stuff that say what would you like Deepika and Shah Rukh to do together, so like at the

03:31press conference it said, you know, Noongi Dance, you know, so something like that.

03:35And the third part is, you know, we will meet some of the participants who've taken part

03:39in these contests or won the contests and get them to come backstage, I don't think

03:43they'll have access to, you know, while the show is going on because that time everybody's

03:46rushing and it's really difficult to manage people and they can get in the way and get

03:51crushed under running stars, but before that we can meet them, or maybe what we normally

03:57do is after the show, we give them a kind of a tour of backstage, what it looks like,

04:01and do pictures with them, so that kind of access 100%.

04:03Hi everybody, I'm Shah Rukh Khan and this is Deepika and you're watching GNTV.
