Ashutosh Rana, known for his powerful performances in films like Dushman, Sangharsh, Raaz, and most recently, Pathaan and Fighter, continues to leave an indelible mark on Indian cinema. His 2023 hit Pathaan alongside Shah Rukh Khan garnered immense appreciation, with King Khan ruling the box office. In an exclusive chat with Bollywood Bubble, Ashutosh Rana shared his experience of working with Shah Rukh Khan and spoke about the superstar's enduring stardom.

When asked about his experience working with SRK, Rana said, "Wo bahut zinda dil vyakti hai. Humne abhi Pathaan mein kaam kiya aur unke saath kaam karke mujhe bahut kuch mila. Aaj bhi wo apne pratyek shot ko aise dete hai jaise naya ladka de raha ho aur ye pehla shot ho." (He is a very lively person. I recently worked with him in Pathaan and I have learned a lot working with him. Even today, he gives each of his shots as if he’s giving his first shot).

He further added, "Kyuki wo atyant buddhimaan vyakti hai, padhe—likhe aadmi hai, bhasha ke upar unka asadharan adhikar hai. Wo chahe Hindi, Angrezi ya Urdu ho, aur bahut saari cheezein hai jo unse seekhne yog hai. Jab aap unke saath kaam karte hai toh koi bhi vyakti ho aapko Shah Rukh Khan ke jis status ko, jis stardom ko hum bahar sunte aur padhte hai, aapko set pe lagega ye bilkul naya abhineta hai aur ye wahi manobhav se guzar rahe hai jisse aap." (He is an extremely intelligent person and well-educated. He has an extraordinary command over languages, be it Hindi, English, or Urdu. There are many things one can learn from him. Regardless of the status and stardom we hear about him, when you work with him, you feel like he is a completely new actor and is going through the same emotions as you do).

During a Twitter interaction, a fan asked Shah Rukh Khan to say a few words about his Pathaan co-star Ashutosh Rana. King Khan responded, "He is a Gyaani and Antaryaami apart from being a very very fine actor."

On the work front, Ashutosh Rana features in the series Ranneeti and Murder in Mahim alongside Vijay Raaz on Jio Cinema. He was also seen in Fighter earlier this year.
