Shah Rukh Khan has been ruling the hearts of his admirers with his acting skills. But the King Khan also has a signature pose that makes his fans’ hearts melt. His iconic open arms pose is and will always be a statement move to effortlessly make people go weak on their knees. But do you know how it was invented? In an interview, the actor bared it all. 

While talking to the audience during the 77th Locarno Film Festival recently, the actor revealed how senior Bollywood choreographer Saroj Khan is behind the pose. He started by stating, “I don’t know. I have no idea.” However, the actor did add that in Indian cinema, in the 90s, actors were supposed to know one of the things and that is ‘dip’.

Shah Rukh Khan stood up on the stage and showcased how the dip, a dance step, is done. The Dunki actor then revealed that he couldn’t do that. “Then I felt very ashamed of myself and all night I kept doing this,” he mentioned.

Then the next morning of the shoot, he met with the choreographer, the late Saroj Khan, and told her that he was ready. But she said that since he can’t do the dip, he can just stand there and put his arms out. But the Jawan star insisted he could do the dance move but she stated that he didn’t need it as it doesn’t look nice on him.

Following her instruction, SRK avoided the dip and put his arms out. He then went to another set and again the dance move was difficult for him to perform. Hence, he suggested to the choreographer that he should do the open arms pose. Since he was putting his arms out frequently, he had to do it more intensely.

“Then I made it scientific,” he stated adding that he started telling people that they have to keep their right leg at a certain angle and pose a certain way. “I am only fooling you all. It’s nothing, it’s just arms out but..” he concluded with a smile. 

Take a look:

Meryl Streep is one of the finest actresses in the industry, and she has taken on roles that are both challenging and iconic at the same time. Her portrayal of Donna Sheridan in Mamma Mia is, to date, considered one of the greatest.

While the fans loved watching Streep onscreen in the first part of the Phyllida Lloyd directorial, they were expecting the actress to reprise her character for the second part as well. However, much to the audience’s dismay, Streep turned down the offer of Mamma Mia! Here We Go Again.  

Apart from the Little Women actress, other cast members from the original film, too, skipped returning to the second part, which was released in 2018. Speaking about Streep’s character in the film, the actress played the mother to Amanda Seyfried, who played the lead role of Sophie. Donna Sheridan owns the Villa Donna Hotel and has a twisted past. The Mamma Mia 2 director, Ol Parker, explained the reason behind the cast members not returning to the sequel. 

Speaking to the media portal, the filmmaker claimed, “There was always a massive desire for a sequel. The studio couldn’t have wanted it more, given how much money the original made. But immediately, there was just a struggle. Not every story needs another chapter. So they couldn’t really find a proper version that actually made dramatic sense.” 

The rumored sources have claimed to the media that Mamma Mia 3 might be in works at the studio. However, one of the trusted sources mentioned to the media earlier that the movie has not yet started filming, but many of the previous cast members would reprise their roles in the third installment.
