Shahrukh Khan's “Director’s Cut”

Superstar Shahrukh Khan recently put up a list of directors from bollywood with whom he would like to work in the future. It might be a dream for a lot of directors to sign the King Khan, but some of them have made it the list of fame.

The question though arises when one realizes that Shahrukh had been approached by all these directors but backed out of the projects himself, except for one.

The list comprises of Vishal Bhardwaj, Mani Ratnam, Raju Hirani, and Anuraag, though it is not clear whether Shahrukh was talking about Basu or Kashyap. “Would love to work with Vishal (Bhardwaj), Anurag (Kashyap or Basu), Mani (Ratnam) sir, Raju (Hirani), and so many other gifted directors. But we have to have something which suits us all,” tweeted the actor.

Interestingly, kKhan turned down the offers of all of these directors in the past, except for Mani Ratam, with whom he did “Dil Se”.

With Vishal, shahrukh was supposed to do a film, which was cancelled after the duo had a fall out regarding a change in the script that the actor suggested. It is common knowledge that with Raju Hirani, Shahrukh was supposed to portray Munnabhai’s character, but had to back out due to his back problems.

Though it is not clear whether Shahrukh was talking about Anurag Kashyap or Anuraag Basu, he was recently linked with Kashyap’s upcoming Bombay trilogy.

Shahrukh Khan - What should be next on his cards?

There is no doubt that today Bollywood heroes are so fit that they can easily slip into the role of 20 something regular college going guy.

Heroes today are extremely fit and are not afraid of working out a bit harder to get that perfect physique.

However there is no doubt that no matter how much they look physically convincing as a college going guy, age catches up with everyone sooner or later and we are busy choosing whether we like them in romantic, mushy roles or in matured roles.

Shahrukh Khan is an actor who has stepped into Bollywood playing a psychotic killer and bad became the new good with him as viewers fell in love with the negative character.

However he is mostly known for his romantic roles in films like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil Se etc.

In recent times Shahrukh has shifted doing a bit matured roles like those in Chak De India, My Name is Khan etc.

We think that it’s ok doing matured roles but according to our opinion, totally rejecting romantic roles won’t be a cool idea since viewers still want to see him in romantic roles.

So we feel that Shahrukh should do a balancing act between romantic and matured roles.
