Superstar Shah Rukh Khan has had a tryst with off-beat films with ‘Maya Memsaab’, ‘Swades’, ‘Chak De! India’, but does not understand the concept of this genre as he feels his presence can turn any unconventional film into a mainstream money-spinner.
The 48-year-old actor, best known for his romantic hero act in films, said he did take a few risks with his movies but since he is such a big star, his experimental films also find audience.
“What is an off-beat film? You put me in an off-beat film and it will become on-beat. Like ‘Chak De! India’ was an off-beat film and it did really well money wise. It is the biggest success of my career,” Shah Rukh said
“I think any film that I am part of will become bigger than it was meant to be as I am big movie star. Even if it is an off-beat movie, people will watch it and so it will become on-beat. I did ‘Maya Memsaab’, ‘Oh Darling YehHai India’, ‘Darr’, ‘Baazigar’, ‘Swades’, ‘Chak De! India’ and others so I do off-beat films whenever I feel like doing it,” he said.
