Shah Rukh on playing dark and different roles
In November last year, Shah Rukh Khan spoke about his character in King during a fan meet. He spoke honestly about heroes and villains. He said, “This distinction has been created by people- hero, villain. In my early career, I did ‘Darr’. Which, by today’s standards, might be considered villainous or like a stalker. And I was in ‘Don’, I was in ‘Anjaam’, I was in ‘Baazigar’- I played the ‘bad’ guy.”He explained why he likes interesting roles. “I just feel that if we don’t do something interesting in a film, then the hero just comes in, sings two songs, fights, and leaves,” he said.Talking about King, he shared, “The character of King is very interesting. Siddharth and Sujoy Ghosh have written it with a lot of love. And it has a lot of evil in it. He’s a killer. He kills people.”Shah Rukh also spoke about his choices now. “But for storytelling, it’s very important that heroes like me play different roles: some inspiring, some comic, some romantic. So that’s what I’m trying to do now. I do a big, good film in 1–2 years. Because I also know that making films has become very difficult now. So films should be made carefully so that I don’t let people down,” he said.
