Actors should try impossible roles even if it results in failure: Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has said, actors in the industry mostly opt for roles with ‘possibility’. Instead, they should be trying ‘impossible roles’ even if it means the attempt of trying something different fails.

“Actors go for roles with possibility. Instead an actor should choose the impossible and give it his or her best even if it means to fail trying it,” Shah Rukh tweeted.

The actor, who delivered an outstanding performance in ‘Raees’, will be playing the role of a dwarf in Aanand L Rai’s 2018 film.

Shah Rukh awaits the release of his next film (yet to be titled), directed by Imtiaz Ali and starring Anushka Sharma as the female lead.

  • He wants to do something different but audience is not backing him because instead of trying something completely different he always have the fear of failure there fore he tried to make ra one a scifi movie with a masala flavour and he failed, in fan he should have made a complete niche film but because of his fear of failure he added unnecessary over the top action scenes same in the case of raees so instead of preaching others he should himself overcome his fear of failure.

  • Only srk can do impossible roles. Other actor can act only in south remakes without any expression and only showing body.Srk has ruled for more than 20 years not like other born in 2007

  • He did Phankha where he was chasing his own shadow or was it running s*** scared of his own shadow…? It dont matter but he has a good point- he needs to stop playing either Raj or Rahul n try more challenging roles like be a lungi salesman or phankha repairman etc etc

  • Ha ha ha .only romantic .watch CDI.MNIK.FAN.DOn series.Sawades and now dwarft movie.
    apne dimage ka ilaaj karao.tiger the real king.

  • SRK made possible things which
    was impossible before him
    starting his career with super
    hits movie
    like Bazigar Darr injam Karan Arjun
    DDL
    while others dipping down day by
    days such like Salman Aamir
    Akshay You must not compare
    SRK with last decade born actors like
    Salman Aamir

  • He is indirectly saying that criminal khan should try doing content rich films instead of masala craps !!
    lalwa haha

  • Daring superstars for me who should be saying this are Mr Aamir Khan Mr Ajay Devgn and Mr Akshay Kumar but to be more precise Akki and Ajay have tried almost everything possible. Action Superstars without body double to biggest Comedy franchises lead actors. Salman has re invented himself of recent especially while Ranbir and Ranveer are going well even though Varun is at top but he still needs to prove a lot more than almost repeated genre.

  • But Mr. Shahrukh, you have played same type of raj and rahul type repititive roles. What about that? And despite looking like 70 years old, you are playing 25- 30 years old characters which makes audience tortured. What about that Mr. Shahrukh?

  • hey guys
    watch the difference of srks and criminals behaviour with arijit !!
    u will understand who has a bigger heart and who has a cheap mentality and a shitty attitude

  • Ha ha ha. Says the guy who has never played a cop’s role even without khakhi uniform let alone with khakhi uniform. Neither he has ever played a wrestler. Never played any dark, intence role like aamir and hrithik in ghajini and kaabil nor an out and out comedy roles like akki and he is advising others to try impossible roles? Even fan was highly overratrd performance and nothing great except for VFX. He has just done romantic roles and thats the only where he suits the most. He is making fool of himself by advising others. His hypocracy is exposed. Why doesnt he try playing old father’s role like aamir did in dangal? Only talks no action.

  • first Fan second Raees third Rehnuma and then Dwarf seems like the tone is already set and we will see the result after rehnuma !!

  • For me SRK wss known for content based movie but unfortunately I missed it with each movie after down fall since 2010…. It seems modi become Rahul Gandhi ..bitter but true

  • Being a salman fan I have a huge respect for srk and aamir. They both have worked hard to reach where they are and its a humble request from every fan club please appreciate others hard work as well. Srk is great human being and a wonderful actor. Coming from a die hard salman fan

  • indicine , in your Q&A session this Sunday you mentioned that Shahrukh Khan is the most recognized indian actor in the world..even though it doesn’t reflect in box office collections. And you gave an example of Amitabh Bachchan saying that his films dont open well but he is still the biggest star. Are both of these sentences not ludicrous? Firstly if Shahrukh is best known indian actor, then why doesnt it reflect or why shouldnt it reflect in box office collections? How else do we know who is the biggest star? Who has counted the 3.2 billion fans that Shahrukh supposedly has? I know that Salman has 4.5 billion fans in the world..but i dont have data to prove it..so how can anyone believe it? The only definite way to determine stardom is by number of tickets sold..isnt it? Secondly, how can we compare Shahrukh with Amitabh? Its a lame example…Amitabh is 70+ years old playing supporting characters n past his prime 30 years back whereas Shahrukh is still playing lead roles n selling the movies on his name. How can their box office openings be compared? Lets be more objective in determining the biggest n best known indian actor in the world – as they say, words may lie…numbers don’t !!

  • Hny Chennai express dilwale jthj come on srk everyone here understand everything you say clearly you trying to hide behind failures which you don’t have too just be what you are and keep doing what you think is good for you

  • All people who are mentioning names of CE, HNY, Dilwale. I wanna tell you all that CE was blockbuster and was loved by majority of people. HNY was superhit. Dilwale was Above average.

  • He is absolutely right actors should try an impossible roles and give your best this is one of the reason why we love Srk he is all-rounder and of course no one can Romance like Srk, but Srk can do many genre.

  • I am not sure whether to laugh or scream on his statement. No one can beat Aamir Khan & Kamal Haasan when comes to versatility & difficult roles. They are class apart.

  • Baazigar, Darr, CDI, MNIK & FAN are his only roles which are non conventional. Rest all are either romantic roles or crying sagas !!!!!! Lol

  • Before some morons jump in, Salman did Veergati, Phir Milenge, Tere Naam, Kyon ki, BB which were unconventional roles for him. Salman Khan is the only one to have Blockbusters in more genres than anyone else.
