Summary
- SRK reflects on playing iconic negative roles early in career
- Describes his 'King' character as "ruthless and grey"
- Aims to do 1-2 meaningful films every couple of years
Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan recently surprised his fans with a special meet and greet session on his 60th birthday. During the event, SRK reflected on his career-long exploration of blurring the lines between heroism and villainy.
Recounting his iconic negative roles in films like 'Darr', 'Baazigar' and 'Anjaam', the superstar explained why he has never believed in the distinction between heroes and villains. He emphasized the importance of actors taking on diverse, morally complex characters to keep storytelling engaging and unpredictable.
Giving insights into his upcoming film 'King', SRK described his character as "ruthless and grey," someone who is "flawed, even violent, even a killer, and doesn't hesitate or feel remorse." The actor shared that he is now more selective about the films he chooses, aiming to do one or two big, meaningful projects every couple of years.
Despite the challenges of filmmaking today, SRK remains committed to delivering quality content that doesn't let his audience down. As he continues to push the boundaries of his craft, fans eagerly await the release of 'King' in 2026.
