SRK played the role of a murderous stalker in 'Darr', which also starred Juhi Chawla and Sunny Deol. The film's story revolved around Rahul (SRK) who is obsessively in love with his classmate Kiran (Juhi Chawla) and stalks her to her doorstep. And what follows is a cycle of distress, heartbreak, and fights, which lead to Rahul's death.
It's been more than three decades and the film is remembered to date. Nobody can ever forget SRK's "I Love You K.K.K... Kiran!" dialogue.
In Netflix's docu-series 'The Romantics', SRK took a stroll down memory lane and shared how he perfected his stammering dialogue 'K k k..Kiran'.
SRK said, "I had a classmate who had a stammer and then we did some little study, some BBC documentary where they talked about that people's minds become aware to one sound, and it's like a sharp current. So, you can't say the word because you become aware of a sound. Let's make him aware of the woman he loves the most, her name. So, I only stammer on the word Kiran. It was just for that one word because he's so aware of her."
"I had some really fantastically stupid ideas, like I remember once going to Adi and saying, can I make this phone call hanging upside down? Adi said 'Dad won't allow that.' Sometimes he would come and tell me that listen I think dad is not going to take a close up of this. I think you did very well. So, you suggest, if I do it, he'll turn me down. So, we were like the filters who kind of help each other with Yash Ji," he added.
'Darr' was directed by late filmmaker Yash Chopra.
Comments:
SRK's performance in Darr was legendary! That stammering dialogue still gives me chills. Can't wait to experience this masterpiece on the big screen again! 🎬
While I appreciate SRK's acting, this movie does glorify stalking behavior which hasn't aged well. Still, it's an important piece of cinema history that shows how far we've come in portraying relationships.
"K...K...Kiran" is still my favorite SRK dialogue ever! The way he brought such complexity to a negative role was groundbreaking for Bollywood at that time. Definitely booking tickets for this!
This was the movie that made me an SRK fan! His intensity was something else. Juhi and Sunny were great too, but SRK stole every scene he was in. So excited for this re-release! 😍
The behind-the-scenes stories about how SRK developed the character are fascinating. Shows what a dedicated actor he is. Might take my kids to see this - they only know him as the romantic hero!
Yash Chopra's direction combined with SRK's performance made this film unforgettable. The music, the tension, everything was perfect. Hope they do more classic re-releases like this! 🙌
