Shah Rukh Khan will soon be seen in his upcoming release ‘Happy New Year’ which is been directed by Shah Rukh’s friend and Choreographer turned director Farah Khan.

The actor in an interview revealed that it is not easy for a woman director to make a name for herself especially in this male dominated industry.

Talking about the same the superstar said, "I am working with Farah after two years. What I have learnt from Farah is her self-confidence. It can be right or wrong but I don't have that. I don't have the self-confidence to direct a film, to go in front of 10,000 people.”

"I genuinely think the film world or every world is a male dominated area. It requires a certain kind of intelligence and guts to just not give a damn to be in a man's world. I don't know what it is but she (Farah) has that power. I know women are respected everywhere but the kind of respect she garners is amazing," added the superstar.

The actor further revealed Farah has a motherly vibe in her as she treats everyone like her child, as SRK said, “ "Everybody loves her and she has this motherly vibe which I can have never have, because it's a woman's domain. Abhishek calls her Farah be, Deepika calls her Farah Maa. Sometimes she shouts at them and the next morning they are sitting in each other's lap. She treats everyone like a child," 

Other than Shah Rukh Khan, the film also stars Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Boman irani, Vivaan Shah in lead. The film will release on 24th october on big screens.
