Yes, you read that right! Choreographer Bosco Martis has finally spoken about working with SRK, and he praised the actor's work ethic and immense dedication.
In an interview with Siddharth Kannan, Bosco Martis said, "SRK sir is a beauty to work with. SRK sir says, ‘Bhai, tu jo step de main woh karunga. Tu yeh dekh le whether it looks good on me or not. He’s got a busted knee, his back is gone. He never complains, never. That’s the beauty. Even in Pathaan, the way he came, the streets were… Now, in Spain, you can’t fix the streets."
"You work with what you have, whether they’re cobbled or slippery. But he’s never complained, he knows that somebody is there to protect him. He’s somebody who surrenders, he knows that there is a choreographer who’s there to protect him," he added.
Speaking further about it, the choreographer said, "He wasn’t comfortable with the step, because there was a lot of knee. But he said, ‘Don’t change the step because of my physicality. You do it the way you want it to, and I’ll try my best.’ And that’s the energy and effort that’s gone into making him such a superstar.”
