biggest names in Bollywood for years. In
spite of all the young actors and
debutants making their own mark in the
industry, the 53-year-old actor still
manages to have the biggest fan base in
the country, spanning across
generations. Cinema still remains the
main source of entertainment in India,
though with the growing popularity of
digital platforms, the dynamics of
content consumption has been changing
aggressively.
Talking a leading financial daily, Shah
Rukh shared his thought on the new age
ways. He said, "The world will change.
There are many films that do not find a
place in the theatre not because they
are not good enough. Film-watching
should be as and when and how one
wishes to.

Sharing his agreement with the
consumers and choices of content
consumption, he stated, "I can't exclaim,
Arre phone pe meri picture dekh rahe
ho!' If you like it that way, fair enough. If
you like it bigger, put it on your
television. If you like it even bigger, go to
the theatre. Netflix and all other
platforms are here to stay. It gives an
opportunity to a lot of youngsters who
didn't know where to take their small
films.
He even spoke about his deal with the
digital giant. "So my deal with Netflix CEO
and the chief content officer is not just
on paper. I'll try and make stuff for you,
for which I can't find a theatre. Theatres
will also change. It will perhaps be more
like Broadway where movies will play for
six months. It will be a 360-degree
experience; there will be 3D and
holographic stuff and more interaction.
It will be community viewing, like
watching a game, like going to a theme
park he concluded.
