SRK had a profound impact on me

Actor Emraan Hashmi, who is gearing up for the release of his first web series titled 'Bard Of Blood,' has said that actor-producer Shah Rukh Khan has had a profound impact on him as an artiste and as a person, because he has grown up watching the 54-year-old superstar's films.

Emraan was interacting with the media at the premiere of Netflix film "Bard Of Blood" on Monday in Mumbai. A few days ago, Netflix India released a new video to promote its upcoming original series, "Bard Of Blood".

The four-minute video shared online, brought together producer Shah Rukhand actor Emraan for a short sketch that, for some reason, shows SRK making self-deprecating jokes about his own legacy.

Sharing his experience working with Shah Rukh in that promotional video, Emraan said: "I felt bad because in that video, I used some bad words for him (Shah Rukh Khan). He has a very profound impact on me as an artist and as a person, because I have grown up watching his films. But in that video, I referred him as Dhakkan and Dabba (idiot) and then I put a cloth bag on his head so, I felt bit embarrassing doing that but we had to shoot it for professional reasons."
