Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has teased his filmmaker friends Karan Johar and Farah Khan, calling them "wannabe actors".

Shah Rukh, who has collaborated with the two directors on various projects and share a close friendship with them, pulled their leg on his Twitter page after Karan posted a photo of the actor clicking him and Farah on the set of "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham".

"Seeing the stunning and exotically executed #gerua bought back so many memories!! @TheFarahKhan @iamsrk," Karan tweeted along with the picture.

Responding to the post, the 50-year-old "Happy New Year" actor wrote, "You two were even then more keen to be in front of the camera rather than behind it. Such wannabe actors you both are!!"


Farah, 50, was the choreographer on "Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham", which was directed and produced by Karan.

While Farah appeared in a tiny role in Shah Rukh's "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai" (1998), Karan, 43, was seen as one of his friends in "Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge" (1995).
