When Jaya Bachchan called Shah Rukh Khan's film, 'Happy New Year' nonsensical, and he reacted

The veteran actress once called Shah Rukh Khan’s film, ‘nonsensical’. Speaking at Mumbai Literature Festival, Jaya Bachchan once revealed that she told the producers and the lead actor of the film, Happy New Year that the film was nonsensical and she watched it only because her son, Abhishek Bachchan too starred in it. Sharing details about the same, Jaya stated:

“I told him he’s a great actor if he can act stupid in front of the camera like that. I can’t be part of what is being done in films these days and hence I don’t do films anymore. I couldn’t do it. But he did it so freely; I was impressed. Of course I went and told the producer and the main actor of the movie that I’ve never seen a movie which was more nonsensical than this one.”

At the same event, Jaya Bachchan also revealed that the lead actor of the film, Shah Rukh Khan gave her an equally witty response and said:

“Jaya aunty, not more nonsensical than Amar Akbar Anthony’. I said it could be entertaining. Amar Akbar Anthony is a film I love watching… if you want to laugh, you don’t take back home anything you watched in theatre.”
