Shah Rukh Khan is the King of Bollywood enjoying a career spanning 32 years. The superstar is a versatile actor flawlessly delivering diverse roles from romance king to negative portrayal. While he has already completed a remarkable 3 decades in Indian cinema he aims to work until the last day of his life. Moreover, he revealed that his dream is to die on a film set.
The 58-year-old actor considered as last of the stars in Bollywood to have a massive stardom. His dedication, hard work, and commitment have been evident in every film he has featured in. Recently, during an interview with the Locarno Film Festival for their YouTube channel the actor opened up about his future plans. After being honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award at the Locarno Film Festival, he was questioned if he would desire to act forever.
Shah Rukh Khan replied, “Will I act forever? Yeah, till the day I die, I my life's dream is for somebody to say action and then I die. They say cut, and then I don't get up. 'It's over now, please?' I say, 'No, till you all say it's okay, you all say it's okay for me. Yes, I'd love to act forever.”
He further added, “Like I said, I'm not a very serious actor, and that I found out some amazing internal things about acting to showcase to people. I just celebrate the joys of life through my acting. For me, if I'm able to entertain, to me to be able to create in whatever sense, not in a mad, amazing, mad scientist way. I create, just create, to share joy, to give love. Art, painting, singing, music – all of them mean the same thing to me. There is no difference.”
King Khan continued, “If I can entertain you for two minutes, it's love. If I can love someone for 50 years, that's entertainment. If I can entertain someone for 30 seconds, it's creative. So I find all different names for the same thing, and I really enjoy sharing this joy, making people have a feeling for an hour or so and enjoy themselves. And sometimes you miss them out. That's the only thing that makes me sad. Why did I let down people? Why couldn't I give them enough love or entertainment or creativity, or whatever the name you can.”
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in Sujoy Ghosh's action thriller King. He is said to play an assassin in the film which also stars his daughter Suhana Khan. In addition, he is reported to play a cameo in son Aryan Khan’s web series Stardom.
