MUMBAI: Shah Rukh Khan was once upon a time a chain smoker, according to his Koyla co-actor Pradeep Rawat, who claimed that King Khan used to smoke multiple cigarettes during the shooting of the movie, on sets. It was during an interview with Siddharth Kannan, that Pradeep revealed that King Khan used to smoke a lot. The film had Pradeep, SRK and Madhuri Dixit in important roles.
Pradeep revealed in the interview, "I wasn’t close to Shah Rukh during the shooting, but he was always well-mannered and a wonderful person. One thing I remember vividly is that I haven’t seen any other actor smoke as much as he did. He would light a cigarette, use it to light another, and then light yet another one. He was a true chain smoker. Nonetheless, his dedication to the film was undeniable". Pradeep also revealed that Hrithik Roshan was the assistant director in the film which was being directed by his father Rakesh Roshan.
Pradeep also revealed that Hrithik used to deliver scripts to Johnny Lever. "Hrithik Roshan was an assistant director in Koyla. I remember Hrithik would come in the evening to give the script to Johnny Lever. Rakesh ji is a very large-hearted person and if any evening passed without a party, then it wasn’t a film shot by Rakesh Roshan. He used to call everyone and there would be food and everything. Then they would go to a disco. He would knock on everyone’s door and call everybody", he said further.
