Mad About Dance (MAD) was con ceived four years ago by Saahil Prem, who was a student in UK then and Shah Rukh Khan was completing his film Ra.One in London. Back then, SRK had given an open offer to the tall, curly-haired youngster - he could pick up any equipment that he might require for his film, from his production team. As Saahil left for the first schedule of MAD, in which he also plays the lead, SRK wrote to him on a social networking site, “Honesty, hard work and generosity of heart will take you a long way."

It's this advice that saw him through the many ups and downs of putting his debut project together. The superstar, on his part, supported Saahil by taking time out last week to do this photo session with him despite being in the midst of hectic post-production for his film, Happy New Year. As he kick-started the promotions of MAD, the superstar said, “This is the first time I'm supporting the film in this manner. I'll be a part of the promotions whenever I can."

With a month to go for the film's release, guess we'll be seeing much more of SRK and Saahil together.

Mad About Dance releases August 22.
