Where a number of Bollywood actors have gone overseas and tried their hand at acting in Hollywood, Shah Rukh Khan is among those actors who hasn’t been very keen about it. The kind of popularity and fan following SRK has, all over the globe, we are sure it wouldn’t be difficult for the superstar to sign a big film too.

SRK has his own reasons for not signing any Hollywood film and they are absolutely legit. In an interview with Economic Times, Shah Rukh reveals the reason why he doesn’t have any Hollywood film yet unlike Priyanka Chopra, Deepika Padukone, Naseeruddin Shah, Irrfan Khan, Amitabh Bachchan and others.

SRK said, “They have to look at me; I can’t look at them. I look at the moon every day but I don’t reach for it. It started with Om Puriji and now Priyanka, Irrfan and so many others are doing it. Nawazuddin Siddiqui is getting some films. Amitji (Amitabh Bachchan) has done some, Anupam Kher too has and it’s wonderful.”

He added, “But I have never been offered an opportunity. I don’t even know if I am good enough to do it — I think my English is a little weak (smiles).”

King Khan wants his film industry to be at par with Hollywood, one day. “My own attempt is to make Indian films watched at that level. Again, not taking away from the greatness of anything that others have achieved, I’d like Tom Cruise to say one day that ‘I’ve been given a chance in a Hindi film’. Man, that will be wonderful. Christopher Nolan would say that there is a producer in India who wants him to make a film. Inshallah, that will happen,” he said.

A number of Bollywood films are going to China nowadays and they enjoy a good run at the box office too. When SRK was asked if China can be an emerging market for Indian movies, he said, “China is a big market not just for Indian movies, but for the world right now. Most of the Hollywood films that perhaps don’t do well in their domestic box office wait for the China release and some of them are saved by that.”

He adds, “It’s wonderful what China has done in the last 8-10 years. If you have a market, you have to somehow create a platform for people. China has done it and it’s a model that India should look at in terms of theatres.”

We are sure after reading what SRK has to say, every person from the industry is going to be proud of him. We surely are!
