Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan has said he has learnt a lot from fellow actor Manoj Bajpayee and hopes his upcoming film Traffic becomes a hit.
Directed by late Rajesh Pillai, Traffic, a remake of a 2011 Malayalam film of the same name, features Bajpayee as a traffic police constable. The Chennai Express actor met Bajpayee in the midst of promotions of Traffic. The two were in the same studio.
“I have learnt so much from Manoj Bajpayee, I felt the proudest when his last film became a hit. I wish Traffic goes on to become a big hit too. I wish all the luck to him on this one,” the 50-year-old actor said in a statement. Meanwhile, the Traffic team will also hold a special screening for actor Salman Khan. The drama-thriller is inspired from an actual event that happened in Chennai. A doctor couple donated organs of their 15-year-old son who died in a road accident. The young boy’s heart was transported to another hospital for a girl who required heart transplant.
The journey, which would have taken 45 minutes, was completed in 11 minutes as the police cleared the way and created a ‘green corridor’ for speedy transportation of the heart. Traffic , also starring Jimmy Shergill, Prosenjit Chatterjee, Parambrata Chatterjee, Divya Dutta and Amol Parashar, is scheduled to release on May 6. — PTI
