masti director indra kumar lauds shah rukh khan for 'reinventing himself' as action hero: i had my doubts...
Bollywood's Badshah Shah Rukh Khan made his fans wait for four years after Anand L Rai's Zero. After the film tanked at box office, SRK took some time off only to return as an action hero and break all the records. Post a series of flops, the actor reinvented himself as an action hero and made a solid comeback with Pathaan.
Director Indra Kumar recently shared his views on how artists need to adapt to the changes in the industry, and how well the King of Romance has done it.
Indra Kumar talks about Shah Rukh Khan
In a recent podcast of Voices of Impact with Arjun Mirani, Masti director Indra Kumar talked about how SRK worked through his tough times and overcame it.
He said, "He was the king of romance for so many years...He played a dwarf, for God’s sake! Nobody is as hard-working as he is. People had written him off, he had to reinvent himself in a new action avatar."
Further, he added, "When we met after Zero, he said to me 'Indu ji, I want to do action next, get me an action movie' I had my doubts, but he proved me wrong."
