From his convocation day, speculation has been rife about Shah Rukh Khan's eldest son Aryan's next career step.

The 50-year-old actor yesterday spilled the beans and informed the media during a press conference on the occasion of Eid that the young lad will be joining film school in the USA.

Like a responsible father, the Badshah of Bollywood is prepping his son for future academics in the best possible manner.

Explaining how he is training his son before he starts his formal education in films, SRK said, "I am showing Aryan a lot of films because he will be going to a film school now. I have made a folder which has all the great English classics like The Untouchables, Goodfellas and Michael Douglas' Falling Down. For the moment, I am showing him English films. I have also made another folder that has Hindi classics like Sholay, Do Aakhen Barah Haath and Devdas - both Dilip Saab's and mine. I want him to see more films and he does watch a lot of films including mine."

Further, when SRK was asked about his kids taking up acting as career, he said, "For the moment, my kids are following my footsteps as far as education goes. I had studied till my masters and my kids are pursuing their graduation. As far as following my footsteps as an actor is concerned, it is up to them what they want to do and I will be happy with whatever their decision is.
