Intermission!

Shah Rukh Khan said he hates giving interviews to Subhash K Jha. He seems to have had a change of heart. Here, he tells him that he'll take a three-month break to make his company truly SFX-savvy

Shah Rukh is about to take a long-due sabbatical. "I want to work on a project that's very precious to me. I want our production company to become truly FX-savvy," he says.

We're in Shah Rukh's newly done-up office. And Shah Rukh is looking as boyish, exuberant and ultra-energetic as

ever. He now needs to take a break…. But with a specific purpose. "I want to spend the next three months honing up the F-X in our production house. Have you seen films like 300? That's the level of special effects we should be aiming at. And I'm going to go for it," says Shah Rukh with characteristic enthusiasm.

Shah Rukh is currently looking at various creative and business options for this cherished project. "I guess this is what I want to do next. This is where my heart is at the moment. I want our F-X to be comparable with the best in the world. Dhoom 2 and Don got it right. I want to take the optical illusions even further," he says.

He adds, "For me there are no real challenges. I need to create them."

Shah Rukh has been in too many places at the same time. His hugely enjoyable stint on KBC is over. "I'm just about done with all the episodes. I had a good time, I don't know about the others," he jokes. "But I wouldn't mind returning with another season. Let us see, talks are on."

Talk veers to contestants with acting cocky or nervous on the show. He says, "It happens… I took it all in my stride. For example, the lady who chose to say she wasn't a fan of mine. That's her choice and I respect it. She was a school teacher and probably thought of actors in a particular way. I respect that. What is there to get upset about it? Incidentally, she spoke to me after the show and explained her point of view to me. I was also asked why I gave away watches to some contestants who were eliminated and not to others. My watches, my choice, I guess."

But Shah Rukh was very clear about the motive and purpose behind his interactions on KBC. "I wanted the contestants to carry back that experience with them as a special one. Otherwise there would be no real purpose behind the exercise. Yes, I knew most of the answers to the questions. But when I didn't, I made sure I asked Siddhartha Basu (he and I go back a long way to the time when both of us did English theatre in Delhi), or someone else on the sets. Yes, KBC was fun. I like my work to be fun. Which is I don't want to do the kind of films I don't enjoy watching. With due respect, I don't want to be in the so-called offbeat films. I'd rather do my enjoyable stuff. Farah's film Om Shanti Om which I'm shooting for now, is again a lot of fun," he adds.

Shah Rukh is making his choices really well at the moment. Family gets top priority. "I decided to see you now, while my son has gone to his friend's birthday party," he says. "I also want to take time off with my kids."
