Mumbai: Even as some of the Bollywood newcomers have bagged a few projects in the west, the Indian Cinema’s superstar, Shah Rukh Khan, despite his immense global fame, has never featured in any Hollywood film till date.
Revealing the reason behind it, Shah Rukh had once shared that his brown complexion and not so good command over English language makes him unfit for Hollywood films.
The Bollywood King also feels that there is ‘no space for him in Hollywood’ as he is not talented enough.
SRK once shared his candid thoughts, stating that he believes “there’s no space” for him in the West.
During a press conference of ‘Om Shanti Om’ in Berlinale in 2008, when asked if he has ever considered working in Hollywood films, Shah Rukh replied, “My English is not good. If they give me a role of a dumb person who doesn’t speak, maybe. I am not trying to be modest, but I think I am 42 years old, I am a little brown.”
Elaborating on why he thinks there’s no space for him in Hollywood, he added, “I don’t have any special USP as an actor. I don’t have any speciality as an actor. I don’t know Kung Fu. I don’t dance the Latin Salsa. I am not tall enough. I think anyone who’s my age in the Western world—I’ve seen some of the films in Europe—I think there is no space for me.”
