Not prone to doing the right thing: Shah Rukh

Bollywood Badshah Shah Rukh Khan celebrated his silver jubilee in Bollywood this year, and the star made a confession. Speaking out in an interview, Shah Rukh said he lacks the tendency to star in films that can be termed “safe”. “I wish somehow I knew which story to tell. I am also not prone to doing the right thing, to try and make a safe film. It may seem so because people keep on picking up my safest thing and giving that as an example. My whole career, from when it started, whether it was with Ketan Mehta, Gauri Shinde, or Rahul Dholakia, it's never been a stayed step into films thinking I will make a regular film,” he said.

The actor also said that while box office failure is indeed “disturbing”, he has found a way around to deal with the outcome of his movies, both successful and flops. “You try. Sometimes, they don't work. There's nothing more to it than that. But if it doesn't work, personally, I get very disturbed and sad.”

“The biggest goal is, can I change your mood for two-and-a-half hours when you are in the theatre and you come out walking saying that it enveloped me for these two hours in whichever way- happy, sad, intense, or thinking. Besides that, there have been no insecurities. And I have never had reasons to be insecure,” Khan said. The superstar was last seen in Rahul Dholakia's 'Raees'. He will soon be seen with Anushka Sharma in an Imtiaz Ali-directorial.
