Shah Rukh Khan opens on being typecast as a Romantic hero; says, “I’m not limited to a genre as a viewer”
In an interview with Variety, he discussed his switch to action films in his 50s and spoke candidly about being labeled a romantic hero. He said, “The other day, I was sitting with (director) Aditya Chopra, who kind of started this process with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. And he said, ‘If we count, you’ve done about five or six romantic films, which are considered classic, sweeping romantic. I think I agree with him, but one gets obviously classified as that.”
He continued, “I’m not limited to a genre as a viewer. I like to see action films. Strangely, my least favourite is romantic films. I like science-fiction films, dystopian world films, off-beat, human drama films. I love courtroom dramas. I love thrillers. I sometimes like a horror film. I just felt a couple of years when I wasn’t working, that I haven’t done an out-and-out action film. I like Tom Cruise films. Mission Impossible, you don’t really have to worry. You will come back satisfied more often than not.”
Shah Rukh Khan made an impressive comeback in 2023. He starred in the blockbuster hit Pathaan alongside Deepika Padukone and John Abraham. Following that, he appeared in Atlee’s critically and commercially acclaimed film Jawan with Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra, Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone.
