Shah Rukh talks about his role in King
Shah Rukh Khan himself opened up about his role in King during a fan meet on his birthday. He said, "I just feel, film ke andar naa kuchh interesting agar hum nahi karenge, toh wohi shots ke andar hero aayega, do gaane gaayega, do fight karega, chala jaayega. Toh, King ka jo character hai, bohot hi interesting hai. Siddharth aur Sujoy ne bohot prem se likha hai. Aur usme bohot saari buraaiyaan hain. Khooni hai, logo ko maar deta hai aur poochta bhi nahi, 'kitne the kabhi poocha nahi'. I think storytelling ke liye, aur isliye nahi ki youngsters ab filmein dekhte hain. I think bohot zaroori hai ki mere jaise hero log jo hain, woh alag alag roles play karein. Kuchh inspiring ho, kuchh aspiring ho, kuchh comic ho, kuchh romantic ho."
SRK's words expressed his enthusiasm for playing a complex and unpredictable character, whereas Anand's lighthearted social media reply indicates that often it's wiser to dismiss online arguments with humor.
With excitement growing, King assures not only style and action but also a narrative that captivates viewers from beginning to end.
