Bollywood’s king amazed by ongoing adulationShah Rukh Khan’s career spans some 70 films and 30 years of movie-making
His name may not mean much in the West but Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan is quite possibly the most popular movie star in the world.
With Bollywood cinema reaching an estimated three billion people his following far exceeds that of Hollywood’s stars.
But after nearly 30 years in the business - and more than 70 films under his belt - 46-year-old Khan remains unexpectedly shy and still can’t quite fathom why legions of fans commonly refer to him as the King of Bollywood.
“I get amazed they call me that - and I think maybe deep down inside my heart I don’t deserve all of this,” he says. “I feel very grateful and very odd. I don’t even know why people like me so much.”

He explains how his confident exterior masks a withdrawn personality. “I’m a very shy person. As I’m getting older, I’m becoming more and more reclusive,” he says.
Given his proclaimed shyness he says acting has been a source of solace. “I actually act just to cover up my awkwardness, so I become some other person and do all the strange things. It’s nearly schizophrenic, and I can just go and do something and not feel responsible, not feel shy, not feel odd, not feel awkward.”
Khan is known for his wide range of films. Some of his pictures have become modern popular classics where he often plays the romantic lead.
“You know, it’s so strange that I’ve done so many love stories, and all my co-actresses and all my friends and ladies, they say, ‘Oh, you’re so romantic.’ I’ve never in my life been able to go and say hello to a girl at a party. The first person I said it to was my wife and I married her quickly.”
Khan’s co-star Priyanka Chopra says he is popular partly because he is so humble
He says he’s thrilled by acting but doesn’t want to review his work once shooting is complete. “I can’t even see my films. I think out of the 70 films I’ve not seen more than three, I can’t watch my films. I get embarrassed.”
With other Indian actors gaining popularity in recent times Khan’s stature has taken a little bit of a beating - but for his followers he has an almost magical ability to keep them enthralled.
Top Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra believes his popularity is partly explained by his humility. “There’s a relatability to him,” she says. "He’s humble, and at the same time, he has the qualities that every mother would want in her child or every wife would want in her husband and every kid would want in her dad. He has all of those in him, so that makes him more than just this movie star who sings you incredible songs. It makes him a brand or a commodity which everyone relates to, and hence why he has become more than just a movie star.
Superhero roleThe actor enthusiastically engages with his fans wherever he goes - but he’s also very involved with colleagues in the movie business working hard to push the Indian film industry forwards.
His latest starring role was in Ra.One, released in October, a film which he also produced. It’s been described as India’s most expensive film. It’s a state-of-the-art superhero picture which, its promoters claim, boasts more special effects than director James Cameron’s Avatar.
Khan wants to make films that appeal to both Indian and Western audiences
Khan believes the Indian film industry has to bring up its production standards if it is to survive - especially at a time when Hollywood is beginning to make inroads into the Indian market.
“Youngsters are exposed to international cinema. They are wanting quality. They are wanting styling. They are wanting designing. They are wanting storytelling, which is international now, and if we don’t cater to that, I think five, seven years later, young kids, the ones who are 15, 16 will stop watching Indian films.”
Many critics were impressed by the special effects in Ra.One but there were some gripes about the weakness of the storytelling.
Khan, while not pointing to any particular deficits in Ra.One, concedes Indian screenwriting needs to change - especially with overseas markets in mind.

"I think our screenplay technique needs to improve a lot more. We make musicals. That format needs to change. We can still have the music, but maybe not so obtrusively.
“If you want to sell a film overseas internationally, it will have to be initially written by screenplay writers from the West, because they understand.” But he believes Indian content should definitely be retained.
One of Khan’s big ambitions is to make a film that will cross over and satisfy audiences in both the West and India. “I’ll keep tirelessly working towards that… I don’t want to sell the poverty and the snake charmers of India. I want to sell the educated middle class of India. I want to tell them there’s a lot of intelligence here, intellect here, rich here, happiness here, colourful culture here, and with due respect, we are not just some country, a Third World country. I don’t want to sell the sadness of this country. I want to sell the happiness of the country.”
Although many of the films that in which Khan has appeared are escapist he remains committed to real life issues.
‘Secular’ industryLast year the actor, who was born into a Muslim family, starred in the film My Name Is Khan which dealt with Muslim profiling in post-9/11 America. “I thought I should be one of the few people, at least in India, to tell people that being Muslim is not necessarily being a terrorist or bad guy. The world should not be divided like this.”
But the actor maintains that despite living in a country where Muslims are in the minority he’s never experienced any discrimination in the film business. “I think the Indian film industry is the most secular place to find a job in. I don’t even know if anybody knows anybody else’s religion while we’re working together. I’ve never been disadvantaged as far as being a Muslim is concerned in this industry.”
Despite his sometimes humble and insecure assessment of himself Khan doesn’t come across as an unfulfilled man.
“I feel very happy that I’m allowed by God to come and be someone else. That’s all I need to do, and I just keep doing it every morning I get up. My family keeps asking, ‘How do you do this?’ I said, ‘I just love it. I’m just very happy doing acting.’”

**With Don 2, SRK joins Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt
By Joginder Tuteja ,Dec 9, 2011 - 11:58 hrs IST
Don 2 is special to Shah Rukh for reasons more than him. Other than the facts that with the film he gets a chance to take forward the Don franchise and also hope to entertain audience all over again after a mixed response to Ra.One, he also joins the likes of Tom Cruise and Brad Pitt. So far these are the only two major superstars who have managed to impress the German authorities when it comes to shooting an international film in their land. However, Shah Rukh Khan has now joined the elite team due to his super popularity in this part of the European continent.
“Unlike U.K., U.S.A or Thailand where international films are shot in dozens, it isn’t easy to get permission for shooting in Germany. It is a conservative land and the eligibility criteria is very stringent when it comes to shooting a film there”, informs a senior production executive, “One needs to be really planned and organised. Also, in order to be eligible for any benefits, there is a 60 points criteria out of which you have to clear at least 47 out of them before you are given a green signal.”
This was made possible by makers like Quentin Tarantino and Bryan Singer who took their Inglourious Basterds and Valkyrie to Germany with lead actors Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise respectively. Since no Indian film has ever been in a co-production with Germany before, Shah Rukh Khan, Farhan Akhtar and Ritesh Sidhwani had a task cut out for them.
“Shah Rukh is so famous in Germany and that made a great difference to shoot Don 2 there”, says Ritesh, “We are the first Indian film which has managed to do that. There were certain pre-conditions that we were required to meet and we had to be very careful. Eventually they did open the doors for us. Once we were together on making the film, they proved to be extremely helpful.”
Meanwhile as things stand today, Don 2 would see a very large scale release in the European continent. Guess it would be time for Shah Rukh to prove again if he can be more popular than Tom and Brad in the foreign land.
