SRK on a different role!
For those who believe that Shah Rukh Khan can never play anything away from stereotypical characters, think once more.
Shah Rukh’s close friend Karan Johar has challenged Shah Rukh’s acting talent by asking him to play an autistic in his next, My Name is Khan. There is no doubt that SRK will take motivation from Dustin Hoffman, who played an autistic in Rain Man, a 1988 film by Barry Levinson, which tells the story of an rough, selfish yuppie, Charlie Babbitt, who finds out that his father has left all of his multimillion-dollar assets to his brother, Raymond, a savant, whom he never knew existed.
Shah Rukh did not take time to say ‘yes’ to Karan. Our well-placed source in Bollywood stated, “SRK can’t wait for the film to start. He is extremely eager about playing this special character.” Autism is a pervasive developmental disorder, which begin in childhood. It is characterised by impaired communication, excessive rigidity, and emotional aloofness.
“Though, he will have to wait as My Name Is Khan has been postponed. Karan had allowed Aditya Chopra to start off Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi first, so SRK will first free himself from Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi and then get on to this challenging role,” our source adds.
A source close to Shah Rukh stated, “He is courageous and dares to take risks, he dares to be different, and break all rules. It is a fallacy that he is repetitive and does not like to play different characters. His performances in Swades and Chak De! India are the best examples to prove this point. My Name Is Khan will be a trump card in SRK’s repertoire. Playing an autistic person will be very challenging. Shah Rukh will have to do a lot of homework.”
