Shahrukh Khan Supports A Filmmaker Financially
Mr. Good Samaritan aka Shah Rukh Khan loves to play saviour. This time the recipient of his philanthrophy has been a moviemaker Shailja Bajpai who was in dire straits and had no resources to complete the post shooting work of her film ‘Walkaway.’
Apparently, the figure ran into crores and the director turned to SRK for some timely help. The director who’d earlier done a project with SRK when he was in the US, hadn’t bargained for the goodness coming her way.
Reportedly, Shah Rukh threw open the doors of his home production office so that she could complete work on ‘Walkaway.’ And all this, incidentally, for free.
Apparently, Shailja is now making waves with ‘Walkaway’, raking in the praise in the US and her debut flick is now all set to show at all major film festivals abroad.
Bares Shailja in a tabloid quote, “I thought that my film would never see the light of the day. Since I had no clue about making a film, the budget went out of control. I was shattered thinking that all my hard work was going to go down the drain. But it was SRK who gave me a helping hand.” Source
