When Raju really became ‘Gentleman’

The foundation of Shah Rukh and Vivek’s friendship was laid during the 1992 film ‘Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman’. In this romantic comedy-drama directed by Aziz Mirza, Shah Rukh played the role of an ambitious engineer named Raju Mathur, who comes to Mumbai and struggles. Vivek Vaswani was also the co-producer of the film and played the role of Lavchand Kukreja in the film. Adorned with stars like Juhi Chawla, Nana Patekar and Amrita Singh, the film gave a new twist to Shah Rukh’s career.

Deep friendship between the two

When Shah Rukh first came to Mumbai from Delhi, Vivek Vaswani was the person who helped him enter the industry. Shahrukh also stayed at his house for some time.
