King Khan gets into self-analysis mode post the success of his last film 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan'

What's a Rs 100 crore to a king? His latest film has already touched the magic mark and still going steady on the box office. However the King remains unfazed.

SRK laughs and says, `It's only a new yardstick. Earlier, it was either a silver jubilee or 100 days... Now, people have a yardstick even for trailers! They're going to keep changing and there'll be a brand new benchmark every few years. I think every film will now make R 100 crore but each film will still have its own uniqueness.`

The success of Jab Tak Hai Jaan has not come without its fair proportion of pressures. First the demise of his mentor Yash Chopra after which the tussle of his producers with Ajay Devgn. Also, the effect it will have on his friendship with Devgn's wife Kajol. `Ajay could be having some righteous things in his mind in regards to the way distribution should be done.

Jab Tak Hai Jaan isn't my film although I'VE part of it. I'VE a good looking relationship with Kajol and that i have met Ajay once or twice. After Yashji's (Chopra) death we were all in a unique zone and that i didn't wish to remain on this space,` clarifies King Khan.

But all's well in his kingdom thus far. The person takes his much-touted rivalry with various actors with a pinch of salt. He says, `I know people say that i'm manipulative, detached; business minded, etc, but I'M REALLY NOT cheap. Meri toh jab picture aati hai ek nayi rivalry shuru ho jati hai. This year there has been no one, so it's Ajay. Earlier it was Akshay and such things as Khiladi versus King. Mein toh sab se pyaar se milta hoon.`
