Shah Rukh Khan promises to teach Brad Pitt how to dance

Shah Rukh Khan has a plan for Brad Pitt -- he is going to make the Hollywood star with two left feet, dance.

On a visit to India to promote his latest film, the Netflix satire War Machine, Pitt told Shah Rukh at a special chat session here he could neither dance nor sing like Bollywood stars.


"I can't dance..." Pitt, 53, told Shah Rukh, who replied, "We will make you dance... We make everyone dance in Bollywood."

Shah Rukh was a part of a special session with Pitt and the movie's director David Michod, in which the two actors discussed the project and their journeys in films.

Shah Rukh, 51, revealed he became Pitt's fan after watching the 1995 film Twelve Monkeys and also praised his performance in The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.

"I am a fan of Twelve Monkeys. That's when I became (Pitt's) fan," he said.

When Pitt asked SRK, "How much time it takes to complete a film in India?", Shah Rukh said, "40 days... And more if there is a problem."

Pitt, who recently went through emotional turmoil after Angelina Jolie filed for divorce citing "irreconcilable differences", said he was "lucky" to have sailed through tough times.

"I try to reinvent (myself). I am lucky to have survived my mistakes," he said
