How did Shah Rukh Khan become an 'Action Star' from 'Romance King of Bollywood'?



Superstar Shah Rukh Khan, who ruled Bollywood for the past three decades, who was ruling the hearts of fans as an unparalleled romantic hero, has suddenly adopted a new identity as an action hero.


Shahrukh's recently released films Pathan and Jawan have broken many Bollywood records, but how did the romance king of Bollywood become an action star?



By the way, Shah Rukh Khan started appearing as an action hero with his film Don in 2006, then Raawan and Raees in 2017, but these films could not give him distinct recognition as an action hero, which is the two recently released films. The films have been given by Pathan and Jawan.



Film critic Anupama Chopra believes that this is a new era of Shah Rukh Khan's career, the Shah Rukh Khan we used to see on the screen before is completely different from the Shah Rukh Khan seen today.


Anupama Chopra said that at the beginning of his film career, Shah Rukh Khan made a mark with anti-hero roles, be it a stalking lover in the 1993 film Dar, or an obsessive lover of a actor or an antagonist in the end, Shah Rukh played every role well. carried out



According to Anupama Chopra, then in 1995, his blockbuster film 'Dil Wale Dulhania Le Jayenge' was released and the anti-hero Shah Rukh Khan became the most popular romantic hero of Bollywood. He took on a new identity and followed up with a string of romance and comedy hits.


Another film critic Rahul Desai believes that the film Pathan Aur Jawan has breathed new life into Shah Rukh Khan's fading youth of stardom.



Rahul Desai said that in 2016 and 2017, going through the ups and downs of the private and film world and after a gap of 4 years, in his films Pathan and Jawan, all the frustrations of these 4 years of Shah Rukh are clearly visible.


He said that both the films are different but the message of both is the same that people of different religions, different regional identities are serving the country together.


He said that a completely different kind of patriotism has been made a subject in Pathan and Jawan compared to Swadis, a film based on patriotism after separating from NASA and returning to serve the country.



Anupama Chopra said that this change is not just like that, but what has been happening in the country during the last 4 years or the situations that Shah Rukh Khan or his family have had to go through has changed their understanding of the political tone. Added depth to the load.


He said that it is gratifying that when your words have an impact, you are also doing something that has a positive impact.



Rahul Desai believes that Shah Rukh Khan has once again ruled the film world, and is no longer the Shah Rukh of yesteryear, hoping to retain his stardom by playing roles with more power than statements. Will continue to do.
