Post KBC, SRK to work on 'precious' project
MUMBAI: He has just wrapped up his quiz show "Kaun Banega Crorepati" and now Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is about to take a long-due sabbatical to spend time with his family and work on a special project.
"I want to take time off with my kids and also work on a project that's very precious to me. I want our production company to become truly FX-savvy," Shah Rukh said in a rare interview.
Shah Rukh is currently looking at various creative and business options for this project.
"When I am asked what next, then I guess this is what I want to do next. This is where my heart is at the moment. I want our FX to be comparable with the best in the world. 'Dhoom 2' and 'Don' got it right. I want to take optical illusions even further."
He now needs to take a break but with a specific purpose.
"I want to spend the next three months honing up the FX in our production house. Have you seen films like '300'? That's the level of special effects (FX) we should be aiming at. And I'm going to go for it," said Shah Rukh with characteristic enthusiasm.
As excited as ever, SRK says, "For me, there're no real challenges. I need to create them."
He has been in too many places at the same time. His hugely enjoyable stint as the host of popular KBC on STAR Plus is over.
"I'm just about done with all the episodes. I had myself a good time, I don't know about the others," he joked. "But I wouldn't mind returning with another season. Let's see, talks are on."
Talk veers to contestants acting cocky or nervous on the show.
"It happens...I took it all in my stride. For example, the lady who chose to say she wasn't a fan of mine. That's her choice and I respect it. She was a schoolteacher and probably thought of actors in a particular way. I respect that. What is there to get upset about it? Incidentally, she spoke to me after the show and explained her point of view to me.
