It's
raining
biopics
in
Bollywood
and
lately,
there
have
been
reports
of
Shahrukh
Khan
being
approached
by
Sanjay
Leela
Bhansali
for
a
film
on
noted
writer-lyricist
Sahir
Ludhianvi.
As
King
Khan
has
never
been
a
part
of
biopic,
when
a
leading
daily
asked
him
about
which
iconic
personality's
life
story
would
he
like
to
bring
alive
on
the
big
screen,
the
actor
quipped,
"I'd
love
to
essay
Guru
Dutt
saab's
life."
Well,
we
believe
that
it
would
be
quite
interesting
to
watch
SRK
step
into
Guru
Dutt's
shoes!
What
do
you
guys
think?
In
the
same
interview,
Shahrukh
also
spoke
about
the
variations
in
his
role.
He
said,
"People
say
I
play
Shah
Rukh
Khan
on
screen.
That
my
roles
are
a
means
to
an
end.
Not
true.
My
work
defines
me.
But
I
have
no
identity
of
my
own.
It's
difficult
being
Shah
Rukh
Khan.
I
have
been
trying
to
be
him
for
so
many
years.
I'm
an
actor,
yaar,
an
entertainer.
Acting
can't
be
written
about
or
discussed,
nor
can
it
be
analysed,
it's
got
to
be
felt.
That's
what
I
do."
He
further
added,
"Audiences
understand
what
I
tell
them.
People
like
a
good
story.
I
make
films
for
the
stories
behind
them.
But
I'm
shy
of
seeing
myself
on
screen.
I'm
not
fond
of
my
face
or
physique.
Maybe
I'm
an
actor,
so
I
can
play
someone
else."
