Film's title!

The film will star Abhishek Bachchan, Suhana Khan, Abhay Verma and Shah Rukh Khan himself. The film is expected to go on floors in November this year. Meanwhile, these are the various topics which were spoken by Shah Rukh Khan in the super interesting interview!
Heaven under mom’s feet!
SRK said that, saying that ‘there is heaven under mother’s feet, his mother made him press his feet every night!
When SRK copied and got a 10 in the Hindi exam!
SRK recalled an incident when his mother had laid a condition that, if he got a ten on ten in Hindi, she would take him to a movie. And by his own confession, he said that he copied one answer and managed to get a ten on ten! Strangely and co-incidentally, it’s a film called Joshilay, which was made by the same director, with whom I went on to do my maximum number of films in my life- Mr. Yash Chopra. And, strangely, I am sitting in Locarno because of him only!
When a director called him UGLY!
Although he did not take the name of the director, Shah Rukh Khan said that, one filmmaker told him that the most attractive part about him was that he was ugly! And that he did not look like a Swiss chocolate, unlike other film heroes!
Reason why Sanjay Leela Bhansali offered him Devdas
Shah Rukh Khan revealed that the reason why Sanjay Leela Bhansali offered him Devdas was because, (in the words of the filmmaker) that he had the eyes of Devdas!
