Ever
since
Shah
Rukh
Khan's
last
release
Zero
tanked
at
the
box
office,
audiences
have
been
waiting
for
his
next
release
Pathan,
with
the
hope
that
the
superstar
will
set
the
silver
screen
on
fire
with
his
comeback.
On
that
note,
we
bring
to
you
an
old
interview
of
Shah
Rukh,
wherein
he
had
dropped
subtle
hints
about
people
from
industry
who
criticise
his
films
because
of
personal
reasons.
In
2011,
when
Ra.One
hit
the
theatres,
it
received
mixed
response
from
the
critics.
When
Shah
Rukh
was
asked
about
the
same,
he
had
said
that
he
doesn't
feel
persecuted
by
critics'
attitude.
For
20
years,
he
has
had
the
luxury
of
being
appreciated
by
the
audiences
unconditionally.
"I
don't
mind
people
criticising
my
films.
But
when
things
get
personal,
I
don't
like
it.
I
know
for
every
50
people
in
the
industry
who
don't
like
my
film
for
personal
reasons,
there
are
30
million
people
out
there
who
love
it," said
the
My
Name
Is
Khan
actor
while
speaking
to
Rediff.
In
the
same
interview,
Shah
Rukh
also
said
that
rather
than
reading
scripts
of
the
films,
he
focuses
on
who's
directing
him
and
gives
his
nod
to
any
project
on
the
basis
of
the
same.
"When
I
sign
on
a
film,
I
don't
ask
too
many
questions
about
the
story.
There
are
times
I
may
not
look
at
the
script
even.
Everyone
working
with
me,
including
my
wife
Gauri,
had
read
the
script
of
My
Name
Is
Khan
but
for
me,
an
opportunity
to
work
with
Karan
again
was
good
enough.
Even
Karan
told
me,
'Look,
everyone
has
read
the
script,
could
you
glance
through
it
at
least?'" said
the
Kuch
Kuch
Hota
Hai
actor.
Coming
back
to
Pathan,
the
film
is
bankrolled
by
YRF
head
honcho
Aditya
Chopra.
Directed
by
Siddharth
Anand,
the
film
also
casts
Deepika
Padukone
and
John
Abraham
in
the
lead
roles.
