Shahrukh Khan is one of the most popular and influential actors in the world not just in India. If he wished, he could play any role but did you know that once the “King of Bollywood” wanted to play Virat Kohli on-screen?
Anushka Sharma and Shahrukh Khan have had several friendly banter since both the stars worked in Jab Tak Hai Jaan and have been friends ever since. SRK’s love for cricket can be seen as he bought the IPL team Kolkata Knight Riders. Many would say it's business but still when you spend millions on something it is not just only business. there ought to be love for the sport.

In a Times Now interview, Shah Rukh Khan was asked which cricketer he would want to play on screen. The question was asked to him while promoting his 2017 hit, Jab Harry Met Sejal. SRK responded by taking Virat Kohli’s name. When his co-star Anushka Sharma heard SRK's response, she grinned and remarked, "But you will have to grow a beard".
To Anushka Sharma's funny response, SRK said, "But I had grown a beard. In Harry Met Sejal, I looked just like Virat Kohli. Exactly like him." Isn't that a cute response? Even if a Virat Kohli biography is unlikely to materialize anytime soon, we adore how SRK admires the Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) cricketer.
