Although most films that he had starred often flopped and rarely gets the attention of Bollywood film critics, actor Saif Ali Khan said he would stick with the decision not to work with actor Shah Rukh Khan (SRK), indefinitely.

The duo had in fact, a few years ago, worked together in the film Kal Ho Naa Ho (KHNH) which brought Saif fame and a fairly remarkable response from Bollywood films fans.

But Saif was a little disappointed because many attributed the success of the movie to SRK and not to Saif's performance.

In an exclusive interview with Indian media, Saif expressed his desire to make it big in the movie industry without help or backing from other big stars.

"I do not want to work with Shah Rukh Khan in another movie like Kal Ho Naa Ho, not ever again. I want to star in a even greater movie that can bring me to greater heights," he said.

"I do not want to be a second choice or a supporting actor beside a big name like Shah Rukh Khan. It took me a long time to work and graduate from the second lead to a main star and I don’t want to go back to doing that,” Saif was quoted in Filmi Beat portal.

Saif's decision is said to have soured the relationship between the two stars.
