Shah Rukh Khan: I don't go searching for a film. I think films choose

Shah Rukh Khan has been in an
experimental mode currently with him
going down the unconventional road with
movies like Raees, Zero and many others.
In an interview to a leading news agency,
Shah Rukh said that taking up a project is an
organic process for him and that he feels a
film chooses him rather than the opposite.
He was also asked if he would also like to
take up movies having social messages like
Akshay Kumar. To this, Shah Rukh said,
"Everybody has their own system of doing a
film, why they do, how they do. I feel a film. I
don't go searching for a film. I have been a
producer for 15 years, I have never
produced a film that I think I should do. I
think films choose me."
He further added that the underlining theme
for any movie to work is that it should be
entertaining. "Sometimes they (films) go
wonderfully right, sometimes they go
fantastically bad and I am ok with it. If I
don't keep that part of my life fluid,
whatever level of artistic, I can't wake up
every morning and keep on acting. I can't
do it (acting) as a job, I am not saying others
are doing it. Different strokes for different
folks," he added.
The Badshah also added that he only goes
with his gut feeling and doesn't bother
about the rest. "My father used to play
hockey. No one knew I played hockey.
Someone offered me a film on hockey,
everyone said it was the worst film being
made. There is no heroine, the girls are
unknown, the songs are bad and I look
awful with a beard. It became 'Chak De!
India'," he explained.
"It doesn't mean I will do another film on
hockey... There are things that appeal to me
organically and sentimentally, so I do my
films... We all sell fantasies in business, in
cars and in my line of work," he concluded.
