Despite being a dud at the box office, Amol Palekar’s 2015 film Paheli did leave a mark in many hearts. SRK’s unusual choice of doing classic Rajasthani folklore will win you over with his nuanced acting. He played an interesting dual role of a man and a ghost in this remake of the 1973 Hindi movie Duvidha. The film also stars Rani Mukerji, Juhi Chawla, and Anupam Kher. Amitabh Bachchan has a cameo appearance in the film.Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa
Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa: Forget DDLJ, and Dil Toh Pagal Hai, SRK’s charisma as a lover boy is unmatched in the 1994 romantic drama Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa.

Directed, produced, and led by Kamal Haasan, the 2000 controversial political drama features SRK in an impressive extended cameo.

King Khan did not even charge a penny for his role, instead, he received a wristwatch as remuneration.Asoka
Released in 2001, Shah Rukh essayed the role of ruthless 3rd century Mauryan emperor Ashoka who adopted Budhism after the Kalinga war. It was the first international release of the actor where it received positive reviews. However, it was also dragged into the controversy alleging misrepresentation of the emperor in the period drama.Swades
Directed by Ashutosh Gowariker, Swades is one of the best movies of Shah Rukh to date as far as his performance is concerned. A rare movie that impacts humanity and the actor has managed to bring forth true nationalism with his acting nuance. He plays an NRI who returns to India to set up a plant and touches upon poverty, discrimination, and caste in the country. Please Subscribe us OnGoogle News
