When Shah Rukh Khan spoke about playing a villain
Meanwhile, at a recent event, Shah Rukh Khan talked about his roles and social responsibilities. He said that the heroes he plays do good things and give people hope and happiness. But if he plays a villain or a bad guy, he makes sure he suffers a lot. “Because I believe goodness begets goodness. And I believe badness deserves a kick in the backside. I should play honest roles that give people the courage to dream,” said King Khan. While Shah Rukh didn’t mention any film, many netizens speculated it might be a reference to Animal.
