Vancouver:
Superstar
Shahrukh
Khan
picks
films
instinctively,
but
he
is
especially
happy
with
Rohit
Shetty's
Chennai
Express
as
he
believes
it
is
a
comedy,
action
and
entertainment-packed
project
"different" from
the
intense
and
serious
films
he
has
done
in
the
recent
past.
"I
do
films
which
I
like
at
a
given
point
of
time
and
as
and
when
I
get
the
opportunity.
So
when
Rohit
narrated
a
couple
of
films
to
me
two
years
back,
one
was
the
remake
of
Angoor
and
other
was
Chennai
Express.
I
like
both
of
them.
But
Rohit
felt
he
would
like
to
do
the
latter
one
first
as
it
is
a
bigger
film
and
has
fantastic
comedy,
action
and
amazing
songs," Shahrukh
told
IANS
in
an
interview
on
the
sidelines
of
the
maiden
edition
of
the
Times
Of
India
Film
Awards
(TOIFA)
here.
The
film,
produced
by
the
actor's
wife
Gauri
Khan
under
their
production
banner
Red
Chillies
Entertainment,
features
Deepika
Padukone
opposite
King
Khan.
Shahrukh
is,
of
course,
happy
with
the
way
the
movie
is
shaping
up,
revealing
that
he
injured
his
right
shoulder
while
shooting
for
the
film.
"It's
awkward
for
me
to
speak
of
film
that
I
produce,
but
I
just
have
to
say
that
Rohit
has
done
me
great
favour
while
making
a
film
like
this
for
me.
It's
fun
and
I
am
enjoying
it.
Yes,
I
end
up
doing
very
intense
films
like
Jab
Tak
Hai
Jaan,
Chak
De!
India
and
My
Name
Is
Khan,
and
so,
it
(Chennai
Express)
is
a
nice
change
for
me,"
he
said.
The
Bollywood
'baadshah' also
hopes
to
do
more
such
films
in
the
near
future.
"I
am
enjoying
it
this
way.
May
be
I
would
continue
doing
films
like
Chennai
Express
in
future,"
he
added.
Looking
dapper
in
a
black
suit,
the
actor
will
take
to
the
stage
to
perform
for
hundreds
of
fans
at
the
final
day
of
TOIFA,
which
has
brought
a
barrage
of
Hindi
movie
stars
here.
He
was
in
a
relaxed
mood,
and
with
an
excited
child-like
demeanour,
he
talked
about
awards
and
their
significance
in
his
life
even
after
over
two
decades
of
being
in
the
industry,
and
winning
lots
of
them.
"I
like
awards
and
I
appreciate
them.
I
feel
most
of
the
awards
that
we
have
in
India,
are
for
years
of
work
that
we
have
done,
rather
than
just
one
show,
and
above
all
that,
it
is
nice
to
see
the
(film)
community
together
(at
such
events).
We
get
five-seven
opportunities
a
year
where
everyone
get
together,
so
it's
a
time
to
celebrate,"
he
said.
Even
though
the
escalating
number
of
film
awards
worries
him,
he
admits,
"I
like
them".
"The
more
the
merrier.
I
get
most
of
them,"
he
quipped
in
his
inimitable
style.
At
the
same
time,
he
says
he
feels
proud
to
see
the
love
of
Bollywood
fans
whenever
he
travels
abroad.
"I
normally
don't
go
outside,
I
only
come
for
functions
and
it
is
very
nice
to
feel
that
people
love
you.
More
than
screaming
and
shouting,
I
like
the
fact
that
people
of
all
ages,
all
stages
and
everywhere
in
the
world
appreciate
what
Indian
film
is
doing,"
Shahrukh
said.
Meanwhile,
being
the
co-owner
of
Indian
Premier
League
(IPL)
franchise
Kolkata
Knight
Riders
(KKR),
he
is
busy
with
the
cricket
extrvaganza,
apart
from
having
his
hands
full
with
acting
commitments
and
production
assignments.
But
he
is
managing
it
all
pretty
well.
One
lesson,
he
says,
he
has
learnt
of
late
is
to
talk
about
his
new
projects
only
at
the
right
time.
"We
are
making
Chennai
Express
and
then
there
is
another
film
called
A
for
Apple,
B
for
Billi,
C
for
Cutta
(ABC).
Two
others
are
in
the
pipleline,
but
I
would
like
to
keep
it
a
secret
till
the
right
time.
"People
are
just
talking
about
work
so
much
earlier
than
it
is
initiated.
I
don't
like
it
anymore.
I
like
to
talk
about
things
when
the
film
is
ready,
and
only
then
would
I
like
to
take
an
opinion
about
what
is
good
and
what
is
bad,"
he
said.
