Shah Rukh Khan to play Walter White in remake of 'Breaking Bad'?

He will ruin it just like Big B's don and Dilip Kumar's devdas

Tell me this is a joke... Shahrukh will totally ruin it. Forget the acting part, the fact that he will be the one adapting Breaking Bad, is enough to know what a disaster it will be.

Oh and while we are at it, I don't think they will get the rights. Why would you let your masterpiece (one that has taken you years to complete); be annihilated in a matter of a 2 hour movie.

Would you have said the same if Aamir was adapting it??

Yes, but to a lesser extent. Breaking Bad is a classic, and BW is not there yet to remake it. I doubt they will ever be.

Aamir's productions have movies like Lagaan, Dhobi Ghat, TZP, Pepli Live, Talaash (I think they co-produced in with Excel) etc amongst their ranks. At-least he has produced brilliant cinema before. Dhobi Ghat is a great example, its such a beautiful movie and vastly different to anything you see in BW. The acting, direction, screenplay and most importantly the cinematography are par excellence.

Not to mention he has a great mind when it comes to film-making. A reason why he has such a solid filmography (be it as an actor, producer or a director).

Shahrukh on the other hand... Its either CE, Diwlale, HNY or Ra 1...

PS: Its not about favorites( the reason why you brought Aamir into this) but about who can handle the subject. When as the last time Shahrukh made a good movie?? Never as a producer and we have to go back to CDI as an actor. How can anyone say that he can handle a material such as BB is beyond me.

Just as i thought!!!...Insecurities come in veiled forms...Amir also did RH & Mela & D3...So he is just as suspect...Anyway world regards SRK as a better actor when it comes to negative roles!!!..whether he does justice to this role is to be seen...If creaters of the show are willing to hand copyrights to him, who are we to question him..atleast fans like me who are miffed w/ Srk for not doing edgyroles will have something to look forward to!!!

Just as you thought what and what insecurities?? You were the one who brought in Aamir in the first place.

Aamir is just as suspect to making bad movies as Shahrukh?? Okay, whatever helps you sleep at night.

Which world are we talking about here?
Where did you bring in the actor bit, nobody is comparing the two here. The question isn't even about their acting abilities. Talk about being all over the place.

Shahrukh can do edgy roles, nobody is stopping him. Just keep away from Breaking Bad. He is simply not good enough to adapt that. Most in BW aren't as a matter of fact, a reason as to why they haven't come up with something like that up-till now.

And if you had bothered to read the post, it was more about film making rather than acting.

" Its not about favorites (the reason why you brought Aamir into this) but about who can handle the subject. When was the last time Shahrukh made a good movie??"

I don't know what's this movie is about but I hope SRK does amazing film like swades again

So another movie is going to get ruined just like Don and Devdas.
