SRK believes that this collaboration will help create themuch-needed platform for animation films in India and also set new benchmarks atthe box-office. "The animation market here is in its infancy stage. If the filmdoes well, then the concept of animated films in India can be explored further,"he says.
So, is he open to more such offers? "I would like to do ananimation film myself, where an actor narrates the script and the animation isdone following his voice." And does this attempt indicate Aryan''s foray into theworld of entertainment? SRK replies, "Aryan is too young to decide what he wantsto do in life. I had roped him in because I wanted him to get his Hindi dictionright. These guys just don''t speak Hindi and Urdu!"
Meanwhile, SRKhas denied that he''s teamed up with Salman for Saajid Nadiadwala''s next. "Nobodyhas offered me any such film. As far as I know, I''m doing Farah''s (Khan),Karan''s (Johar) and one home production. Mentally I have decided that I''ll stickto these," he signs off.
