Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, known for his performances in Devdas, My Name is Khan, and plenty of others, doesn’t draw back from experimenting with recent things to look more authentic and embody the character.
In Devdas, directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali, Khan, who needed to play the role of an alcoholic, actually drank alcohol because he believed it was essential for the character.
Tiku Talsania, his co-star who played the role of Dharamdas within the film, revealed that Shah Rukh Khan would take shots of rum one after the opposite within the afternoon sun. When questioned, the Bollywood superstar replied, “Sir, acting toh ho jayegi. Aankhon mein sharab dikhti nahi hai na, uska kya.”
Talsania further revealed that Khan was a genius who would put in lots of effort for his character and would come prepared to the sets of Devdas.
In an interview, Milind Gunaji, also an element of Devdas, revealed that when he lost his father throughout the filming of the movie, Shah Rukh Khan was prepared to stop the shoot and supported him.
The movie Devdas was directed by Sanjay Leela Bhansali and starred Shah Rukh Khan, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan and Madhuri Dixit in titular roles.
Shah Rukh Khan gave back to back blockbusters last 12 months with movies like Jawan, Pathaan and Dunki.
