Dunki DOP reveals Shah Rukh Khan is ‘too gentlemanly’ to involve

It was recently reported that Amit Roy, the DOP of Shah Rukh Khan starrer Dunki, being directed by Raju Hirani quit the movie owing to creative differences with the filmmaker. The film, which also stars Taapsee Pannu, went on floors this year and, in fact, the first schedule of Dunki has already been wrapped up.

In an earlier interaction, Amit had revealed he shot for 18-19 days and quit over creative differences. He had stated that he did not want it to reach a stage of friction with the director and hence stepped away from the project.

Now in an interaction with ETimes, he has revealed, “We were not able to come onto the same page, though we tried a lot. It had reached a point where I thought the friction will keep increasing and our relationship will get spoiled. If both of us are not agreeing on the same thing then it will be problematic for the film.”

When asked if the film’s star Shah Rukh Khan tried to patch things up between him and Raju Hirani. Amit replied, “It was a thing between a director and DOP. SRK is anyway too gentlemanly to get into that relationship. Neither would he have asked Raju sir to shoot with me nor would he have had any other opinion on it. He was not a factor in my decision.”
