Shah Rukh Khan said he always wanted to do Mission Impossible-like movie.
"I was told that I am liked when I do heroic films, when I look physically good and can dance. I believe that when someone makes commercial films, we shouldn¡¯t add our own creativity to it, because we need to keep it simple, as it¡¯s made on someone else¡¯s orders," he was quoted as saying at the fan event organised on his birthday.
SRK always wanted to do a cool action movie.
"So I have to make a film that makes all of you happy, and all these three films (Pathaan, Dunki and Jawan) are what I¡¯ve never done before. I¡¯ve always wanted to do something like Mission Impossible, cool action film¡ªI think Pathaan is like that."
At the event, Shah Rukh Khan danced to his iconic song Chaiyya Chaiyya and also cut a cake with his fans.
