There is No Competition for me: Shah Rukh Khan
It may be raining Salman Khan these days, but Shah Rukh Khan is unperturbed. He not only believes that he is the best but he is confident that no one can compete because they ‘do not run the same race’ as him. Known for his impeccable ability to charm people, Shah Khan said how he gives ‘thorns to competition’ on the release of a book of management co-authored by friend and management guru Arindam Chaudhuri and his wife Rajita.
SRK shared with people why his first producer wanted to know why a ‘thin and dark’ person like him with a ‘hair like bear’ wanted to be in films SRK smiled and said, “I replied that I wanted to make people smile because it made me happy.” He added, “Come to think of it, it is quite ideological. Genuinely, tell me why do you want to be a movie star?”
“I told him my ideology, which is my ideology even now… I told him that my parents have died. So I want to make movies so damn bloody big… that my parents somewhere sit down on a star and from there also can look at their son and say ‘I can see his movies from here better than I can see the Wall of China or anything. We see his movies covering the face of this earth’,” added Shah Rukh, who explained to the audience on the importants of setting goals in life.
“That is my target. It may seem a bit too much of self-importance, but I don’t think anyone can compete with me because they don’t have a target like that… I have a genuine emotional target. So you’ve got to know your target,” he added to a thunderous applause.
Shah Rukh, said that he may have rivals in the industry but he deals with competition differently. He said, “I hit my competition hard by deciding not to play the game. I choose to change the game and I choose to select films that are so different from what the others do so that they don’t remain my competition because they don’t run the same race. ”
Shah Rukh Khan invited a round of applause again when he said, “Winning is not about trying to undermine someone’s success… what you need to do is to go on the parallel road! You decide that you go and change the game. In my life, I have always decided to change the game.”
“I am making the biggest film this country has ever made (‘RA.One’) and I will be proud even if it flops and does not succeed because I want to change the game I play. I do not want to be in the same playing field as others,” said the actor, who is said to have invested over Rs.150 crore in the making of the superhero film,” he said, “I want to die giving the last shot of my film.”
“I am a big believer of selling dreams. Everything comes at a price… life comes at a price tag of death itself. Except for the emotions that parents and children share, everything is for sale… I don’t come for free either. You can make me do an item number in films, dance at a wedding, do street theatre as long as it makes people smile. I am a proud seller of dreams… and as long as it makes people smile, I will do it,” SRK said.
On another occasion, Shah Rukh khan wished all the luck to arch-enemy Salman Khan, who miss the euphoria of his film Bodyguard, as he had to rush to the US for the operation done to a painful nerve condition that he suffers from, called Trigeminal Neuralgia. Last heard, the surgery has gone well and things are back to normal.
