Shah Rukh Khan Condemned The Star System, Says Film Critic Is Becoming An Endangered Species

After openly sharing about his latest movie, Aanand L. Rai's Zero featuring Anushka Sharma, in the newest interview at Beijing Film Festival, the megastar Shah Rukh Khan has recently delivered a heartfelt speech at the Critics Choice Film Awards.

The Kuch Kuch Hota Hai star opened his speech by modestly saying: "I hope that these awards become more than just another opportunity for people like me who really don’t do as much as far as art and cinema is concerned." Also, SRK emphasized that these awards would become inspirations for all the artists to go far beyond the old and familiar ideas, bring magical imagination into filming and directing.

"More importantly, stars like me or filmmakers like me have to change myself as an actor and as a filmmaker," he added. One of the most important factors to become a true actor is deconstructing yourselves and discarding your egos. " I like to be a superhero, a midget, a fan with a prosthetic face."

He also stated that they, the filmmakers had been together to fight, to bring more valuable ideas. "We find logic and disregard the free-spirit of storytelling." Moreover, the filmmaker must be valid in both themselves and the stories they are going to tell, Jab Harry Met Sejal's main added.

Moreover, Khan condemned the star system and film critics. He said that "3 stars, 3.5 stars, 3 and a quarter stars, or 5 stars" is never a way to deny all the efforts and creativities of filmmakers. "With critics sprouting all over, film critic is becoming an endangered species," he stated.

After the poor performance of Zero, SRK will come back with other super projects. Namely, Mahesh Mathai's Salute, Farhan Akhtar's Don: The Final Chapter, Vikram Vedha Remake, Hey Ram Remake among others.
