Shah Rukh Khan on what he wants to do next:
Shah Rukh said that after the three movies in 2023, Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki, he wants to do a project like Leon. The 1994 movie had Jean Reno in the lead role.
SRK revealed, “After this, I want to do a film like Leon. Not Leon, a movie like Leon. An older, calm guy, heartfelt with a grey beard and grey hair. I don’t know.”
The Zero superstar added that he wants to do ‘everything’. “I want to do everything. Best guys, bad guys, mean men, happy fellows, loving guys, fighting guys. This year is exciting because I have filmed Pathaan, which is the action movie I came here to do 31 years back, so hopefully, at 57, I still look like I’ll take it off,” he said.
Opening up about the journey of Pathaan, Shah Rukh Khan revealed that he wanted to do an action movie with Aditya Chopra when he first began out but was presented Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge instead by the director.
The megastar said Aditya never made an action movie after that, so when he proposed Pathaan, he hopped on the opportunity.
“I exercised, built a body, and they didn’t want any of it. They said you only come and make a cool move; you are easy. I worked very firmly for it. I think it’s an over-the-top, amazing action movie,” he said.
