The list of Shah Rukh Khan’s admirers is endless. And joining the fan club is the hot new on-screen couple Imran Khan and Deepika Padukone, who will be seen paying tribute to him in Kunal Kohli’s forthcoming production, Break Ke Baad.

Shot in Delhi, Mumbai and Mauritius, Danish Aslam’s Break Ke Baad is a romantic comedy. Imran plays a theatre owner and Padukone plays a wannabe actress in the film. The two, who are childhood friends, fall in love at a tender age and then break up. The film tracks their post break-up blues and how they manage to salvage their relationship despite being in two separate geographical locations.

“Imran enacts Shah Rukh’s signature steps in the title track Dooriyan. He is also very fond of SRK, who is popular as the king of romance,” says Kohli. In the past, Imran had reportedly hinted at Salman Khan in his debut film Jaane Tu Ya Jaane Na’s song Pappu can’t dance (2008).

Padukone, who launched her career with SRK in Om Shanti Om (2007), is a big admirer of Khan. She too imitates him in the film. “In a drunken stupor in Break Ke Baad, she claims she is Shah Rukh Khan,” says Kolhi.
