After a long hiatus of almost four years, Shahrukh Khan is gearing up to bounce back with his string of upcoming films like Pathaan, Dunki and Jawan. While Pathaan is almost towards its theatrical release, Dunki and Jawan are still in the shooting phase. The superstar was in Saudi Arabia for the shoot of Dunki and while talking about his shooting experience at the Red Sea International Film Festival, SRK revealed the real reason behind his acting hiatus and it was not related to his film failures.
As King Khan sat in Jeddah on the eve of the second edition of the festival, Shah Rukh Khan talked about returning to films after a long hiatus. He said his hiatus began with his desire to be more available to his children and, with his two oldest children in college in America, his constant filming schedule made it difficult for him to drop everything and visit them.
Talking about his daughter Suhana Khan, who moved from the UK to New York and was waiting for her to call for eight months, Shahrukh told Deadline, “She never called me. I haven’t signed any films and I thought, ‘Maybe she’ll call me, maybe she’ll call me. So one day I called her and said, “Listen, can I start working now?” and she said, “Why aren’t you working?” And I said, “I thought you were going to call me and feel lonely in New York.”
Soon after the Covid hit, Shah Rukh signed his spy actioner Pathaan from Yash Raj Films. The film marks his first step into the action genre. He said he always did really cute love stories, some social dramas, some bad boys, but no one cast him for action films. As he is now 57, the superstar thought that the next 10 years would be spent in action films. He also added that he’s always wanted to make Mission Impossible-type movies that have over-the-top action.
Shah Rukh also spoke about the emergence of OTT platforms and how people are used to watching movies on their portable devices. He said that although there has been a shift in the nature of audiences watching different types of films and series on streaming platforms, there will always be a place for films that are released in theatres. But he stressed that the public should refrain from watching films on phones, “They are too small”.
