Shahrukh Khan At His Witty Best; Jokes About Not Making As Many Hit Films Anymore!
When speaking to the crowd at the Indian Film Festival in Melbourne, Shah Rukh Khan, in his usual witty manner, joked about how he is a rising superstar who is not making as many hit films.
Many
celebrities
are
currently
in
Melbourne
to
attend
the
Indian
Film
Festival
of
Melbourne.
Shahrukh
Khan,
Karan
Johar,
Arjun
Kapoor,
Tabu,
Zoya
Akhtar,
Vijay
Sethupathi,
Gayathrie
Shankar,
Sriram
Raghavan
and
others
are
in
attendance.
When
speaking
to
the
crowd
at
the
Festival,
Shah
Rukh,
in
his
usual
witty
manner,
joked
about
how
he
is
a
rising
superstar
who
is
not
making
as
many
hit
films
anymore.
Shahrukh
Khan
was
in
Australia
many
years
ago,
filming
Chak
De
India.
Talking
about
that
visit
to
Australia,
he
said
at
the
Indian
Film
Festival
of
Melbourne,
"Many
years
ago
in
2006-07,
I
came
here
when
I
was
a
rising
superstar,
giving
hit
film
after
hit
film.
Now
I
am
back,
still
a
rising
superstar
not
making
as
many
hit
films
(chuckles)
as
I
would
want
to."
The
Badshah
of
Bollywood
has
been
facing
tough
luck
at
the
box
office
after
a
series
of
his
recent
films
such
as
Fan,
Jab
Harry
Met
Sejal,
and
Zero,
failing
to
impress
audiences.
However,
SRK's
friend
and
filmmaker
Karan
Johar,
who
was
also
present
at
the
event,
spoke
highly
of
King
Khan.
"He
fully
represents
superstardom.
I
firmly
believe,
in
the
era
we
belonged
to,
the
term
is
understood
because
of
him.
It's
not
just
about
his
large
heart
but
his
tremendous
presence
and
aura.
The
fact
that
he
is
an
outstanding
actor
is
hugest
icing
on
the
cake," he
said.
Shahrukh's
last
film
Zero,
co-starring
Katrina
Kaif
and
Anushka
Sharma,
was
a
big
disappointment
to
critics
and
audiences
as
expectations
from
the
movie
were
high.
The
actor
is
currently
taking
a
break
from
films
but
we
are
sure
he
will
come
back
stronger
than
ever.
