It takes conviction to what I do: Shah Rukh Khan

Superstar Shah Rukh Khan feels the kind of roles he portrays onscreen, be it an action hero or a hopeless romantic, needs a strong conviction to impress his fans.
The 47-year-old actor has completed two decades in Bollywood and given blockbusters like "Darr", "Baazigar", "Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge", "Kuch Kuch Hota Hai", "Jab Tak Hai Jaan" among others.
"I think I am only an actor. I make my job look very easy. But let me tell you it is the most difficult thing to do even after 20 years. I stand in a scene and make it look simple. But sometimes, it takes nine takes to make that happen. Romance and real emotions are easy but unreal emotions are difficult," said Shah Rukh at a promotional event for his upcoming film "Chennai Express" here.

The action-comedy, directed by Rohit Shetty, will see the actor opposite him "Om Shanti Om" co-star Deepika Padukone. The film will mark the first collaboration between SRK and Shetty.
"I like Rohit's sense of humour. I like his film 'Golmaal', 'All the Best'. His sense of humour is madcap and crazy. After 'Jab Tak Hai Jaan' last year, I wanted to do a comedy. Rohit first approached me with the script of 'Angoor' remake.
"My mother and I loved the cult comedy. When he was leaving after the meeting, he said that he had one more script ('Chennai Express') which he wrote for some other actor. But after hearing it, I found the script interesting and ended up doing it," he said.

The film will hit theatres on August 9.
