In 2023, Shah Rukh Khan has truly been the star of Bollywood, making a big impact with two blockbuster films — Pathaan and Jawan. These successes have played a crucial role in reviving the film industry post-pandemic. As Rajkumar Hirani’s ambitious next Dunki awaits its release, Shah Rukh Khan continues to shine in what has been an exceptional year for him. Despite his unwavering commitment to each project throughout his career, SRK revealed during his appearance on the 2016 talk show Yaaron Ki Baraat that he took on only one film in his entire career for financial reasons.
During the chat, Shah Rukh, without disclosing the film’s name confessed to doing one film solely for monetary gains. He said, “Main naam nahi lunga par sirf ek film maine paise ke liye ki thi. Maine abhi tak 60 films ki hai. Aur mujhe malum bhi tha, maine producer ko bhi bol dia tha, maine ghar liya tha uss film ki fees se, mujhe bahut zaroorat thi. Jab mere halaat theek-thak hogaye, toh jab maine recently apni saare films vapas khareedna shuru kiya, woh pehli film thi jo maine vapas li, mujh aisa lagta hai ki maine uss film ki payment vapas ki hai (I will not take its name, but I have only done one film for money. I have done 60 films till now. I bought my first house from the fees of that film. I needed that money. But when I got financial stability and I started buying my films, that was the first film I bought. I feel I have returned the payment of that film).”
He added, “Mujhe dil nahi tha woh film karne ka, par maine ek he film aj tak apna zameer bhechke paisa ke liye ki hai (I didn’t have the heart to do that film, but that was the only film for which I sold my conscience for money).”
Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in Jawan.
