Shah Rukh Khan Shares Deets About His Character In King
Earlier, in a video from the fan meet, Shah Rukh Khan is seen talking about his King character. “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. 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.
“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,” said Shah Rukh Khan. He further added that he believes it is important for him to play diverse roles. “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.
