Shah Rukh Khan: Filmmakers still don’t offer me cool action films

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan is all set for the release of his upcoming film ‘Raees’ and in a recent interview, the actor shared how he always wanted to play a macho man and do action on screen.

The actor, who is termed as the King of romance, wanted to play a macho man. “I wanted to be a macho man on screen. I always wanted to be an action hero. Filmmakers still don’t offer me cool action films. Because of my repertoire, may be, directors don’t consider me an option. But I am very macho at heart.”

He adds, “There are five big action set pieces in the film. We have an entire parkour sequence, we have a very sadak-chhaap fight which is how roadside gunda fight. That sounds funny, but it’s very intense. There’s an entire action sequence while the ‘Laila O Laila’ song is playing which is quite interesting. It’s about a minute-and-a-half long. There’s another cool action scene with the bad guy. It’s more of a gun-wielding fight. There’s one during a rally, so it has a political fight as well. And then there’s obviously the fight during the climax. I got to do almost everything in the film.”

“Each one has a flavour of its own. We tried to do is give every fight a different meaning, a different touch, so there’s a distinct kind of musical background in every fight, but it’s a fight at the end of it all,” Shah Rukh concludes.

Also featuring Mahira Khan and Nawazuddin Siddiqui, ‘Raees’ releases on January 25, 2017.
