In his conversation with the media at the trailer launch of his next film Vicky Vidya Ka Woh Waala Video, when asked about competing with superstars like Shah Rukh Khan and Akshay Kumar as he has managed to surpass their biggest blockbusters and more, Raj very humbly replied" I have learned a lot from them. They are the only ones in my dreams who have watched these films. They are our superstars. And you don't compete with your superstars. You give them love. I am also a fan of theirs."
Further, Raj mentioned he will always look up to them for inspiration," We have learned from them. They will always be my superstars. I will always look up to them."
Raj has always been a confessed Shah Rukh Khan's ardent fan, and he follows him religiously. The actor in one of his interviews had mentioned how it was SRK who advised him to buy a house out of his capacity and only then he can make the house of his dreams. Well, when the generous King speaks, all you do is listen and follow.
