He might have re-created Dilip Kumar's magic with 'Devdas,' but Shah Rukh Khan has no intention of remaking another Dilip Kumar flick.
During the promotions of his upcoming romantic flick 'Dilwale' the 50-year-old actor said, "Dilip Sahab's 'Aan' is a beautiful flick, but as of now, I don't have any plan to remake the legendary actor's pictures."
Talking about 'Devdas,' the 'Happy New Year' star added that they did not make that film with the intention of remaking it, they did it to introduce the younger generation with the classics that Dilip Kumar has done.
Shah Rukh further said, "I thought it was quite interesting to bring it back to life so that the younger generation understands the importance, beauty and greatness of great Mr. Dilip Kumar.
Further when asked whether there was any competition between the young couple and the iconic couple of the flick, SRK said, "We actors don't have competition in acting but we have done things like singing competition, for a person like me who has done more than 50 films, I got to learn a lot from Varun Dhawan and Kriti Sanon because they bring something new to the table."
Directed by Rohit Shetty, the flick also stars Varun Dhawan, Kajol and Kirti Sanon.
