Lucknow, August 27: He's a fallen hero who failed to save India's fortunes in the finals of a crucial hockey tournament. To retrieve his lost glory, he takes on a women's hockey team and leads them to win a global championship. Meet Shah Rukh Khan the actor, not the star.
In a new age Bollywood, when star actors choose to steal the show with offbeat roles, Khan somehow ended up restricting himself to mushy glamorous romances, thanks to buddy Karan Johar's money-minting movies (mostly at the overseas box office). However, with Chak De! India, everyone's talking about Khan's versatility. The king of bubblegum films let's his histrionics take over for a change. "His range as an actor is huge; he is someone who has performed street theatre," says the film's director Shimit Amin.
"It's unfortunate that Shah Rukh's true acting potential has not been tapped properly. It is filmmakers like us who don't offer him challenging scripts. He has proved his range as an actor with right opportunities," says director Kunal Kohl
