Superstar Shahrukh Khan is undoubtedly the Badshah of Bollywood. But the actor does not seem very interested to do a Hollywood films. Shahrukh says that his role should be very powerful and should justify his acting, which is very difficult in Hollywood.

Many film stars have tried their luck in Hollywood including Anil Kapoor, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, Amitabh Bachchan, Irrfan Khan and Malika Sherawat in the past. But Shahrukh Khan does not want to take any offer just for the sake of doing an Hollywood film. The actor says that his role should make his country India proud.

Talking about Hollywood films, Shahrukh Khan told the media while promoting his upcoming film Chennai Express, "I think the kind of role I would want to do in a Hollywood film is one that makes India proud. To get a role like that is not specific to my colour, or the way I speak, look or act or my age, it's very difficult."

"I mean you can't go to a big filmmaking world and say write a role for a 47-year-old actor who is brown, has hair like this, acts this way, dances a bit... the role should be something that Indians should be proud of. It's too specific for me to have a USP," the actor further added.

Despite his shoulder surgery, Shahrukh Khan is leaving no stone unturned to promote Rohit Shetty's Chennai Express. In Chennai Express, SRK will again be seen sharing screen space with Deepika Padukone. In the movie, Deepika is playing the role of a South Indian girl named Meena.

Chennai Express arrives at the theatres on August 9.
