Personal Quotes
(December 2001, about
Hrithik Roshan): I wish I looked as good as he does. And I wish I danced as well as he does!
Yes, I do have a close circle of friends and I am very fortunate to have them as friends. I feel very close to them I think friends are everything in life after your family. You come across lots of people all the time but you only make very few friends and you have to be true to them otherwise what's the point in life?
I'd rather sink trying to be different, than stay afloat like everyone else
I cannot repay my fans for what they have done for me, they have given me so much love and that love has taken me to the number 1 position where I am today, the only thing I can do for my fans is to never stop working, and to do films till the very end, it is the only way I can express my love for them.
To me, Devdas is the end of love stories. I've portrayed an obsessed lover, a nice lover, an angry lover, a romantic lover. And now I've played Devdas. For someone who doesn't even like love stories, I've played an awful lot of lovers. Personally speaking, I wouldn't see any of the romantic films I've acted in.
I'm the luckiest man in the world and I don't want to hide from the faces I'm acting for. So I don't surround myself with guards, I've never given an interview in which I've said I feel bad that I can't go shopping or I can't go to Chowpatty and eat bhelpuri without being mobbed. I'm not the kind of guy who goes out wearing dark glasses (I don't think I'm a big enough star to hide behind them, honest). I go to see movies in the cinema theatres, I go to restaurants with my family and friends even though I know people are going to disturb me there.
God has become a generic term like `mind blowing.' It is embarrassing. I would have said that to Amitabh Bachchan, Naseeruddin Shah, Nana Patekar. I used to tell them I want to stand in the same space as you. I've told Kamal Haasan, I just want to touch you. They are the gods of acting. When people call me God, I say, no, I'm still an angel or saint of acting. I still have a long way to go.
(August 2004):
Awards that ignore me are losers.
(August 2004): I'm try-sexual. I try anything that's sexual.
(August 2004): I have no competition. Every year the names I'm pitted against keep changing. You can't cream the competition, you have to kill it.
I keep hearing that our films are escapist and unreal but I find our films the most real in the world. We don't have people going up in a rocket and single-handedly blowing up a meteor. We don't have a president on Air Force One saving the world or things coming out of people's stomachs. Our fantasies and escapism are real. It's just people singing and dancing in the street. If England had won the World Cup you would have seen people singing and dancing like that.
I don't like wearing dark glasses. I'm happy with the fact that people know me. I want people to scream and shout at me, I want people to trouble me when I'm having lunch, I like six bodyguards around me. I love being a star. I find it very strange
"I haven't given up smoking. I'm very clear about it, it's a personal choice. I want to cut down on it. It shouldn't be made into an issue to say, damn good or damn bad. Whether I give it up or not shouldn't be an issue." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
"I was supposed to have done
Rang De Basanti (2006), the guy on the motorbike. I didn't have the dates. They were shooting in Delhi and the dates were clashing with Paheli." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
"It's not like Steven Spielberg is waiting with a script for me. I don't think I'll ever be offered a great international film in my lifetime, so I'd rather be a king here. Moreover, Indian cinema is the greatest in the world. But of course, after spending three months in LA, London, and New York I found that our cinema is a little exaggerated. To make a mark in the West we have to reach their level without losing our identity, culture or songs. I don't want to star in a Hollywood film, but want to make a film that crosses over universally." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
On trying to get Paheli (2005) an Oscar nomination: "There's a misreport here about our lobbying at the Oscars. The understanding that we have of the Oscars is very different from how it really is. Because Indian film, foreign films are not known, you're supposed to hire a PR company which we did. It's not as if you just go there, show your films, lobby and talk to them. You're not allowed to lobby as in you're not allowed to meet the Academy members, talk to them or even make a call to them. You just keep advertising in the 'For Consideration For Oscars' category. We took out full page ads in papers like Variety and Hollywood Reporter. The only good thing we did was that we advertised very frequently, it was promoted on the same scale as the biggest of films. We did it because we could afford it." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
"I felt
Ashoka the Great (2001) should have been chosen for the Oscars. We had worked towards that. We had these international distributors for it. We were the first to actually release an Indian film internationally in traditionally non-Indian theaters. We spent a lot of money and lost a lot of money too. We were the first to put up boardings in London, in tube stations. We did speak to everyone who was anyone here, wondering if Asoka could go to the Oscars. But the one that got chosen was
Lagaan: Once Upon a Time in India (2001) which was even better. So we had no complaints. After that I didn't make any film for the foreign market." (Movie Mag, May 2006)
You must respect your seniors, bu never get intimidated by them. Winning should be a habit, not an option. The four Hs are important when you play to win --- honesty, humor, hard work and a bit of haraamipan.
I don't look at the figures that my movies make. The only figures I look at are girl's figures. (When asked to comment on what he felt about the figures his movies gross.)
Whenever I fail as a father or husband... a toy and a diamond always works.
If I talk to a girl, it's assumed that I'm having a scene with her. If I don't, then it's assumed that I'm gay.
I don't kiss on screen. Period.
There are only two Khans. Ghenghis Khan and Shahrukh Khan
Sex is not required to sell my film. My name is enough.
You never win the silver, you only lose the gold.
I am very shy. If I am flying British Airways and the air hostess asks me two questions, and I don't understand her accent - I will go hungry for the entire flight.
The dream I chased, took me on a journey. A journey more rewarding then the goals, the achievements. When I look back it's like facing a million mirrors. Each reflection opens a window. A window to the world I've just discovered. The world I want to share with all of you.
If I am a role model, I must be the worst one in the world.
I've never had a girl make a pass at me.
Togetherness, passion, laughter, faith, trust and jealousy are the essential ingredients of love.
The collar-bone is my favorite part of the human body.
If asking me whether sleeping with X or Y gives the media pleasure, then so be it. It's a small price to pay.
Where Are They Now
(September 2004) He is doing a world wide concert with
Preity Zinta,
Saif Ali Khan,
Rani Mukherjee,
Arjun Rampal, and
Priyanka Chopra.
(June 2009) Shooting for My Name is Khan in San Fransisco.
Shahrukh Khan is one of the most popular actors in Bollywood and also the most consistent. Ever since he made his debut, SRK has always been a bankable star and his line-up of movies in 2011 and 2012 is stronger than it has ever been.
With the recent success of his contemporaries like
Aamir Khan,
Salman Khan and
Ajay Devgan, mainly due to the fact that they have delivered big 100 crore blockbusters, Shahrukh Khan is
no longer considered to be the undisputed box office king that he once was.
Also, SRK has cut down heavily on the number of movies he does per year. During his peak, the actor had atleast 3 releases every year. In the last 6 years though, he’s just appeared in 6 films (lead roles).
While some believe he is no longer the biggest superstar, SRK’s last flop was Paheli way back in 2005. Since then, he’s had 6 releases and all of them have done well at the box office. That’s a 100% success record for 6 years. As long as his films rake in the moolah and open to huge numbers, SRK is still there.. Right at the top. And unless something goes terribly wrong, he’s expected to remain one of the biggest stars in the industry.
His two releases in 2011 are both potential blockbusters. Below is a full list of all
upcoming movies of Shahrukh Khan in 2011 2012.
Shahrukh Khan Movies in 2011
- Ra.One: Arguably the most anticipated movie of the year and by far the costliest film ever made in Bollywood, Ra One is SRK’s answer to our film industry’s only successful superhero film – Hrithik Roshan’s Krrish. The movie has been in the making for quite sometime now and Anubhav Sinha, the director has been involved with Ra One for more than 5 years. What’s worrying is the fact that, portions of the film have been directed by Karan Johar and Tarun Mansukhani. Will SRK pull off his most ambitious movie ever? We’ll know on October 26th 2011. Ra One also stars Kareena Kapoor, Arjun Rampal and Satish Shah.
- Don 2: After playing superhero, SRK plays super-villain in Don 2, which is also his last release of 2011. Directed by Farhan Akhtar, the Don 2 trailer has already been released and by the looks of it, it’s ought to be a fine action film. Don 2 is a sequel to the 2006 film Don, which itself was a remake of Amitabh Bachchan’s 1978 film with the same title. Don 2 also stars Priyanka Chopra, Lara Dutta, Boman Irani, Om Puri and Kunal Kapoor. With no Aamir Khan this year for Christmas, SRK and Farhan have seized the opportunity to release their action thriller.
Shahrukh Khan Movies in 2012
- Untitled film directed by Yash Chopra: How many times over the years have we seen Shahrukh Khan play the role of a lover-boy in a Chopra film? About 5 times (Aditya chopra films included, Darr isn’t) and they have achieved success each time they have come together. SRK – Chopra combo has never ever failed! For his next, Yash Chopra has once again, unsurprisingly, cast Shahrukh in his next. The film also stars two of the prettiest faces in the industry – Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma. The romantic film, with music from the brilliant A R Rahman and lyrics by Gulzar, is expected to release during Diwali in 2012.
- Ra.One Release Date – October 26, 2011
Upcoming Movies of SRK (Release Dates)
- Don 2 Release Date – December 23rd 2011
