We still don't know yet what the future holds in store for 007, but Daniel Craig won't be there after No Time To Die. There have been lots of speculations about the casting, and names such as Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Callum Turner have been doing the rounds. But would Bollywood star Shah Rukh Khan ever consider taking on the famous role? Shah Rukh, who was in London to unveil a bronze statue with DDLJ co-star Kajol, was asked this question during a conversation with BBC News India.
What Shah Rukh said about James Bond
During the chat, Shah Rukh was asked that now he has done action films as well, so what is next for him? The next James Bond? He replied, “No, I don't have the accent. I don't like shaken martini (referring to Bond's choice of drinks). I haven't done too many action films, actually. I was always wanting to do an action film, but then Kajol was in my life, and you can't do action films when Kajol is acting opposite you. So I did all the romantic films!”
Kajol, who was seated beside him during the chat, reminded him playfully that he was also doing many more films besides her in it. Shah Rukh said, “Yeah, but the ones we are known for are the ones we have done together. We can't deny that. So, I just did a few action films because I always felt I could. I did it a little late in the day. I think I enjoyed it. I don't know James Bond, but Sean Connery for sure, yeah!”
