He is one actor who has never asked me what the story is about, how much money he will charge...whatever amount I send him through cheque he takes that and rather asks me why I gave such a huge amount," said Chopra, who turned 80 today.<br /><br />"He does not meet me before we start shooting, he says why to meet...i don't want to know the story, don't want to talk about money so why to meet. It is all because he has faith in me."<br /><br />After `Veer Zara', Shah Rukh and Chopra have joined hands in upcoming `Jab Tak Hai Jaan'. Chopra is making his directorial comeback after a gap of eight years.<br /><br />"After `Veer Zaara' I wanted to make something different and nice....soul-touching film. That is when I told Aditya, my son, that I want to direct a film. This film is a gift to me by Aditya. He told me `make the film dad and I am there to provide all kind of help'."<br /><br />While Gulzaar has penned the lyrics, A R Rahman has composed the music.
