Shah Rukh Khan's 'dream studio' is still a dream as he doesn't have enough money!

MUMBAI: Shah Rukh Khan, who's not too happy with the state of most of Mumbai's studios, has been planning to build his own studio for a while. But believe it or not, money constraints have been stopping the superstar from realising his dreams!

He admits, "Yes, I don't have enough money to build my own studio, with the rate of properties having gone so high. I want to build it with my own money. I need at least five acres of land to build a proper studio. I am speaking to the government about this, about giving me a proper commercial place for this. But it looks like that dream is slowly being shifted outside Mumbai now."

Talking about his dream studio, SRK says, "It will obviously be in a better condition than a lot of existing ones. God has given me so much that I think it is my duty to give back something. If I can't do it, I am not going to kill myself. I still have to make a lot of good films."

The superstar adds, "I need something to end my career.

Otherwise, I will go on. So, a studio seems like a great idea where I can at least sit back and watch movies being made."
