However, he has not yet been directed by Ram Gopal Varma. Recently, in a conversation with Radio Nasha, Ram Gopal Varma has revealed the reason for Shahrukh Khan not working with him.

Why did Shahrukh Khan never work with Ram Gopal Varma?
During an interview with Radio Nasha, Ram Gopal Varma revealed that he had discussed some projects with Shahrukh, but nothing materialized. He said that Shahrukh is a firecracker whose energy may be too much for the film maker’s style.

Verma said, “We had many meetings, but I always felt that Shahrukh was like a live wire full of energy. My film making style is composed and intense. Limiting Shahrukh to that scope was unfair to him and the fans who expect his trademark charm and charisma.”

He further said, “At one time I had approached him for ‘Company’. But Malik’s character was to be very quiet and lazy, which was completely opposite to people’s expectations from Shahrukh. I had a great story for him, but it did not happen.”

Directors don’t make much difference in Shahrukh’s films.
He said, “When you tell Shahrukh about a scene, he immediately gets up and does it. He is amazing, I felt that there is nothing for me to do in his film. In his films, the director does not make much difference because he can handle the camera completely himself. This is a completely different kind of stardom.”

For which fans were also eagerly waiting. Vivek talked about his film company in an interview during the promotion of the film. He told how he had stayed in the slums to convince Ram Gopal Varma.

In an interview given to Pinkvilla, Vivek Oberoi talked about his personal life and struggle. When Vivek was asked how he got his first film with Ram Gopal Varma, the actor told that he was struggling for 2 years. Every day he used to meet people and give auditions.

Gave auditions for 2 years
Vivek told that I was giving auditions every day for two years and was getting rejected but was trying. When he met Ram Gopal Varma for the first time, he was rejected for the role of a gangster in the company. Vivek said- ‘Ramu ji met me and told me that you seem to be a very educated, polished chocolate boy type and I need someone like that, so he should be hardcore because this is a gangster film.’

Vivek lived in slums
Vivek told that he was thinking that this is a corporate film because its name is Company. Vivek said- ‘I knew that the name of the picture was Company. Now when people hear about the company, they feel that it is suit-tie polished, isn’t it? How did we know which company was being formed? When he understood, I said, give me a chance. I went and lived in the slums. I lived in a slum for 6 weeks-7 weeks. Opened on hire in the slum. Stayed in the room. Big rats used to come at night. Water had to be taken out from inside the drum. There was no bathroom, you had to use the accessible toilet. Had to stand in line. I realized what Chandu Nagre’s life would be like. How he blows beedis, how he drinks tea, how he talks.

Vivek further said- ‘Then when I went to Ramuji, I went as that character. Because I didn’t know whether they would let me audition or not. So I went dressed like the character. I went to his room with lots of pictures. He had made up his mind that he had to refuse it today. I entered smoking beedi like one enters a gang stop and sat on a chair and placed my feet on the table. Slipper on both tables. At last he said- Tremendous audition. I had never seen such an audition. Finally he said, you are doing my film.

Bollywood actor Ajay Devgan has always impressed everyone with his acting. He became famous everywhere after Ram Gopal Varma’s gangster drama Company. Ajay’s work was highly appreciated in the company. However, now in an interview, Ram Gopal Varma has revealed that this film was offered to some other actor before Ajay. But later Ram Gopal Varma changed his mind and cast Ajay Devgan.

Ram Gopal Varma talked about his film company in an interview given to Siddharth Kannan. He told that the role of N Malik in the film was first offered to Shahrukh Khan but after meeting the superstar, he decided to cast Ajay instead of Shahrukh.

Shahrukh Khan was the first choice
Ram Gopal Varma revealed that Shahrukh Khan was his first choice for the role of N Malik but later he changed his mind. He said- ‘My first thought was to cast Shahrukh Khan. I went to him and told him the story, and he showed interest in it. But I felt that Shahrukh’s body language is natural, he is very energetic, he is like a live wire. The idea of ​​Malik’s character was that of a person who is calm and cool when thinking. I felt that Shahrukh’s natural energy would go against it. Still, taking Shahrukh in the film would be injustice to both him and the film.

Ram Gopal Varma further said- ‘I think one is a performing actor and the other is an actor. I am not saying that one is better than the other, but it is a different style of acting. A person like Shahrukh should be left to his own devices. I think the director will not succeed in trying to cast him in a different kind of character. But Ajay was naturally suited for that role, he is of very calm nature. That’s when I decided to take Ajay. I had just one meeting with Shahrukh, and in that I realized that this would not work, but I did not tell him.

Talking about the company, Ajay Devgan, Manisha Koirala, Vivek Oberoi, Mohanlal, Antara Mali and Seema Biswas were seen playing important roles in this film.
