SRK did not want to use word 'Gerua'

Watch Video: Know why SRK did not want to use word

SRK was hesitant in using the word 'Gerua' in one of his songs in the Dilwale. Shah Rukh felt that the usage of this word 'Gerua' will not look good as it is a very uncommon word. But lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya was insistent on the usage of the word. And today the song has turned out to one of the most liked songs of the film. Both Kajol and SRK are seen using saffron props in the song. The film is all set to release in a couple of weeks and even before the release it is creating a lot of buzz. Initially Shah Rukh was sceptical about the word ‘Gerua’. It is not a commonly used word in film songs so he thought will it work, will it be accepted, how the audience will react to it. He liked the word and said it’s nice to hear but just that it is used less,” lyricist Amitabh Bhattacharya said.
