During the interaction, Shah Rukh talked about his decades-long career and spoke of working with directors like Yash Chopra, Sanjay Leela Bhansali and Farah Khan. He also said, "Some of the best storytelling comes from the South of India. Some of the greatest superstars of Indian cinema are from Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, etc… Of course, we know of them in India, but with films like Jawan, Baahubali, and RRR, everybody is noticing it… After working with Mani Ratnam sir in Dil Se, I wanted to work in the ‘South’ genre film. It wasn’t enough that I worked with a South Indian director.”
Shah Rukh was last seen in Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani. He will be seen next in Sujoy Ghosh's King, which will also star his daughter Suhana Khan.
