Shah Rukh Khan (SRK), a prominent Indian actor and producer, is set to release his new film 'Kartavya' on Netflix on May 15. At the film's trailer launch in Mumbai, Saif Ali Khan, the lead star, discussed his long-standing friendship with SRK and his unique approach to production. Saif emphasized that SRK is not a hands-on producer and prefers to give directors the freedom to create their vision without his constant presence, which can sometimes be overwhelming. This approach allows filmmakers to operate independently while still aligning with SRK's sensibilities. 'Kartavya', directed by Pulkit, is described as a character-driven crime drama that delves into themes of conscience, justice, and consequence. The film also features notable actors such as Rasika Dugal, Sanjay Mishra, Zakir Hussain, Manish Chaudhari, and Saurabh Dwivedi.
