Shah Rukh Khan On His Flopped Films: "I Understand And Respect That"

Shah Rukh Khan has recently celebrated his 54^th birthday on Saturday and rumor has it that the actor might make known of his new movie on the big day. Despite all that, nothing happened and it left his fans quite disappointed. The actor said, talking of the fans that attended his Mumbai birthday celebration lately,

"I know a lot of people were writing on social media and media people keep speculating that I am announcing a film on my birthday, but the beauty of my films because of all you is. The day it will be announced will be our birthday.

"We have celebrated like that. More than that, I think I owe it to you. When I make a good film then, you feel really happy and when I make a bad film, you feel really sad. I understand and respect that. I never intentionally try to make a bad film but it just happens. Similarly, I never try to make a good film, it just happens."

Some of the star’s last movies namely Zero, Raees, Fan and Jab Harry Met Sejal did not perform as well as expected. Nevertheless, Shah Rukh shared that he felt inspired when watching his colleagues’ films.

He said,

"Now, I am thinking that I will work hard and get healthier. For me, it is not just working, it is working for the pride, happiness, love, warmth, kindness of you guys. I will try to make action, dance, romantic, comedy films for you as quickly as possible. I will work hard and try to finish as many films as possible over the next year, so we will have more moments of happiness -- not because of me but because I know how you enjoy watching films (that are) not only mine but of other actors also. After so many years, I got a chance to watch films by other actors, so now I feel more inspired."

Sharing his reasons for taking a break from films, he said: "Whenever I had injuries, I worked despite the injuries, so I never did fully recover. Therefore, I thought that I will take some time out, recover fully, which I have. My children were going to college, so I thought I had to spend time with them. And I wanted to think about such stories for my films that people will like." He added: "I am working on a lot of films with a lot of friends and directors. I always preferred to talk about films when I start working on them, so, once things related to my films get finalised, I will tell you about them within the next two or three months."

King Khan opened up on his desire to have a large auditorium in order to connect with his fans in special events such as his birthdays.

"For me, the biggest thing on my birthday is that all of you (fans) come here to meet me. I always try to meet you, especially on this day. I am trying that our company, which is into films, quickly makes some hit films, so that we can earn some money and then we can buy a big auditorium where one lakh to two lakh people can enjoy together."

"In the next few years, I want to have a place where you can come again on my birthday, along with your children. I have lived nearly a third of life now and, Inshallah, I hope to live very long. I look forward to be with you for the next 100 years."

SRK also teased fans by saying that they should go to the cinema to watch his movies just as much as they had arrived at his house for his birthday.

"I am thankful to people who have come here from different parts of the country and different parts of the world. Till date, I haven't figured out what is it I have done for which you guys love me so much, but now I have stopped thinking about it because Salman (Khan) has taught me that 'Main dil mein aata hoon, samajh mein nahi (I live in your hearts but am beyond your comprehension)'. I was also telling my team that you all come to my house but not in (cinema) halls to watch my films (laughs)! So, you should start coming to cinema halls as well."
