Soon after celebrating his 48th birthday with the media at his Bandra residence, Bollywood superstar Shahrukh Khan had a chit chat with all the reporters who had gathered at Mannat.
When a journalist asked, why none of his films released during Diwali this year, SRK said "Because I had a release during Eid. Next time I'll try to have a release during Eid, Diwali, Holi and Christmas. I'll try my best"
On a more serious note, the actor said "Krrish 3 is there (in theatres). I hope everybody goes and sees it. It's a lovely film. Our team has worked hard on the film. I've seen parts of it, haven't seen the full film. I hope everyone likes it."
Some of the most memorable films of Khan's illustrious career have released during Diwali. Films like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge, Veer Zaara and the more recent Jab Tak Hai Jaan all released during the festive season of lights.
His next film, Happy New Year directed by Farah Khan also releases during Diwali next year.
"Whenever my film releases its Eid, Diwali and Christmas for me. I've never really thought about it like this. I read it today that it's Diwali and there is no Shahrukh film. It's alright. We will work hard and release our film next year" he added.
