But it was Shah Rukh Khan who dominated the discussion. Sharing an anecdote from a shoot for a major lifestyle and home furnishing brand, one producer recalled how the actor completely changed the atmosphere on set despite arriving late.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe were shooting with Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan. Usually, everyone knows he comes at 2 pm. No matter what you do, he arrives at 2 pm,\u201d the producer said jokingly. \u201cBut this time, they told us he had a dinner planned at home, so he would come by 9 am.\u201d<\/p>\n
While Gauri Khan arrived at 8:30 am sharp and began filming on time, Shah Rukh had still not arrived. \u201cI kept saying, \u2018I told you he\u2019ll come at 2 pm only.\u2019 We were worried because he had dinner plans later, and I was wondering how I would pull off eight hours of work in four hours,\u201d the producer recalled.<\/p>\n
However, when Shah Rukh finally arrived on set, his approach left a lasting impression on the entire team.<\/p>\n

\u2018He apologised to the entire crew\u2019<\/h2>\n
\u201cHe didn\u2019t just apologise to me, he apologised to the entire crew,\u201d the producer said, with others at the roundtable agreeing that this was typical of the actor. \u201cHe told us, \u2018I am sorry I\u2019m late.\u2019 Then he said, \u2018Till you don\u2019t finish, I\u2019m not going anywhere.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The producer further revealed that Shah Rukh even called home to inform that he would be late for dinner.<\/p>\n
\u201cHe called home and said, \u2018Whoever the guests are, start everything. I\u2019ll come two hours later,\u2019\u201d he shared.<\/p>\n
Despite the delayed arrival, Shah Rukh wrapped up the demanding shoot with remarkable speed and efficiency.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s the other thing about him. He will come at 2 pm and finish eight hours of work effortlessly. One take, one take. The client would be left wondering, \u2018We booked him for eight hours, what do we do now?\u2019\u201d another producer added.<\/p>\n
The producers also spoke about the contrast between seasoned stars like Shah Rukh Khan and some newcomers, expressing frustration over young actors displaying entitlement despite limited experience. \u201cThen you have newcomers behaving this way and you wonder, \u2018Why?\u2019 At least give me a good reason,\u201d one producer remarked.<\/p>\n
Aamir, Alia, Ranbir are extremely professional<\/h2>\n
Apart from Shah Rukh Khan, the producers also praised Aamir Khan and Alia Bhatt for their professionalism and work ethic during advertising shoots.<\/p>\n
Recalling his experience with Ranbir Kapoor<\/a>, one of the producers said, \u201cIn 2010, in 2014, and now in 2025, by far the most professional, sweetest, nicest guy to ever work with.\u201d Another producer immediately agreed, adding, \u201cUnbelievable.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
