Shah Rukh Khan is 'the busiest man in Bollywood'

Debut director Roshan Abbas has described his friend Shah Rukh Khan as the hardest working man in Bollywood.

Abbas is currently working on his first feature Always Kabhi Kabhi, which is being produced by Khan's company Red Chillies.

In an interview with the Times of India, the television host turned helmer said: "He has always been around on the sets. He is the busiest person on this planet.

"Even in the middle of that, he used to find time for my film. That's what makes him really interesting. He was there as a mentor in that sense, but he has not been a tormentor."

Graffiti, based on a play written by Abbas in 1999, is a slice of life drama set in a Delhi high school.
