Shah Rukh Khan has become synonymous with starring in some of the biggest and most extravagant Hindi films. Many of his most successful projects, whether romantic or action-packed, have been larger-than-life productions. In a recent interview, the actor revealed that he takes on these 'big films' as a tribute to his parents, whom he lost at a young age.

Recently, Shah Rukh attended the Locarno Film Festival, where he participated in the Locarno Meets podcast. During the podcast, he discussed his 2002 blockbuster Devdas and reflected on its impact on his career. He shared how he got involved in the film and mentioned that at one point, the project was nearly shelved.

Shah Rukh Khan said, “There came a time that we wouldn't be doing it, and I moved on. But I was very keen to do such a film in my career. My parents had passed away by the time I joined films, both of them were not alive. I don't know, for some reason, I always felt I'll make films which are very big, so that my mom and dad can see them from heaven.”

The actor dismissed this as a 'childish concept,' but said that he still believes his mother is a star, alluding to the common belief among youngsters that the departed become stars in the sky. Shah Rukh stated, “I still think my mom's a star, and it works. I think I even know the star she is. So I just felt that if I made Devdas, she would really like it. She would appreciate it.”

On the work front, Devdas, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, was the most expensive Indian film ever made at the time, with a reported budget of ₹50 crore upon its 2002 release. Starring alongside Aishwarya Rai and Madhuri Dixit, the film was both a critical and commercial hit. Over the years, Shah Rukh Khan has been part of several large-scale productions, including Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham, Ra.One, and his recent action thrillers Jawan and Pathaan. Reports now suggest that he is set to collaborate with his daughter, Suhana Khan, in Sujoy Ghosh's King.

Meanwhile, the new revelation about Shah Rukh Khan playing an assassin was made by writer Rahul Raut on Twitter aka X. While we hear that the film will see the actor perform action like his characters in Jawan and Pathaan, on the other hand, fans of the megastar will be thrilled to see the actor reprise ‘the baddie’ like he did in the 90s with films like Baazigar, Anjaam, and Darr.

This news about the actor’s return to a grey shaded role has not only sparked excitement but it also made an older comment that the superstar made during the Locarno Film Festival in August 2024 viral. During the event Locarno Meets which was also attended by Khan, SRK had addressed the subject of playing a baddie wherein he had said, “I think I have a new way of playing a bad guy”. The comment seems to have gained more momentum after the recent buzz about him returning to such kind of roles with King.

Coming to King, the film is expected to feature an ensemble cast wherein Abhishek Bachchan will play the real antagonist. Along with Suhana Khan, it will also star Munjya fame actor Abhay Verma in a key role.

Shreya Ghoshal and Badshah, both acclaimed singers with massive fanbases, are admired as legends and inspirations. However, the two playback stars also admitted they'd like to borrow a few qualities from actor-singer Diljit Dosanjh. In an exclusive interview with Pinkvilla, Badshah described Diljit as a "khoobsurat insaan," while Shreya expressed admiration for his sharp sense of humor.

During the conversation, they praised Diljit Dosanjh while discussing the music industry’s top talents. When asked what trait of Diljit's they admire most, Shreya mentioned his vibrant and energetic personality.

She added, “Mujhe Diljit Dosanjh ka sense of humuor bhi sahi lagta hai. I want to steal that. He is always funny.” To this, Badshah added, “He is effortlessly funny.” They both agreed that he is honest and sweet. The rapper also mentioned that Diljit is a ‘khoobsurat insaan'.

During the conversation with Pinkvilla, the singer revealed that he wants to steal AR Rahman's Grammy Award. The Kala Chashma singer further added, “I have seen sir once or twice sitting on his piano and playing a beat. When it ends, I think, wow, it was so good, and he immediately says it was bad.”

Last week, news of Wamiqa Gabbi and Siddhant Chaturvedi, who did a music video together, are expected to explore their chemistry even further by collaborating for a film, which is expected to be a light-hearted family entertainer. The movie is directed by Vikas Bahl along with Jaya Bachchan too playing a key role. Now, the latest update on that front is that the film will be shot in Europe.

While there were rumours that the untitled entertainer is set against the backdrop of Goa, sources close to the film have confirmed that it will be shot against the picturesque backdrop of a European country. The source went on to add, “Wamiqa Gabbi has already left for the shoot along with the rest of the team and Vikas Bahl. The movie will be going on floors on Wednesday, October 16”. If these sources are to be believed, Siddhant Chaturvedi too will be soon taking off to the continent to complete a major portion of the film. However, it is unclear whether Jaya Bachchan will be flying off or whether her scenes will be shot within this country itself.

Speaking about the film, earlier reports suggested that the film will be a romantic drama with Jaya essaying the role of Wamiqa. This marks Vikas Bahl’s first association with Mrs. Bachchan and the latter’s second project in the last five years after the highly successful Rocky Aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani.

Coming to the professional commitments of the actors, Wamiqa is juggling between multiple projects including the upcoming release of Varun Dhawan, Keerthy Suresh starrer Baby John in December. On the other hand, Siddhant Chaturvedi too is expected to have a packed schedule with Dhadak 2 starring Triptii Dimri and with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Tum Hi Ho with Mrunal Thakur in the pipeline.
