You realised he is a big star only when you see the crowd around the sets. Otherwise, the way he carries himself and participates in a film, you don't get the feel that he is a star," Imtiaz told reporters here at the trailer launch of the movie.
"We both are from theatre background so it was easy to communicate with Shah Rukh. It was easy to work with him. He is a basic theatre actor for whom the story and the co-actor is important. He is the only giving actor I have worked with," he says.
Imtiaz credits his mother for suggesting the basic idea of the film about a tour guide.
