- “An action guy with eight packs, girl on my side, a glock in my hand, and speak in baritone.” That’s the kind of actor SRK wanted to become but the universe had other plans…

Notice how SRK mentioned "not been offered a role that's OF SUBSTANCE"
This is a very polite way to say that Hollywood only casts Indian actors in very stereotypical and small role, and he doesn't want to compromise his self respect or India's image by giving in to the temptations of Hollywood movie.
We've seen this time and again how all the desi actors abroad are given really cringe roles. Forget actors from India, even the Indian origin Americans struggle to this day to get decent roles in American films.
This is why SRK is the most based celebrity ever. He became the biggest movie star in the world without every doing a western film. A true patriot, man wants Indian industries to become globalised and not for Indian artists to bow down to western hegemony. Mr Scorpio Sun Aquarius Moon♏♒
And then, there is Priyanka Chopra. Truly broke the mold she did.

Same reason Tom Cruise haven’t done a single Bollywood movie.
Mission Impossible with SRK as a villain would go crazy
Fir toh Tom ko Tommy ban banna padega😂😂
He doesn't need to buddy.
What ? Lol why he would work and degrade himself by working in lower second level film industry when he is currently in top position in number one film industry in world
Lol what? Besides Indians no one would care
Same happened both side : Bollywood doesn't offer to Hollywood, Hollywood doesn't offer to Bollywood 😅
Lol Bollywood can't afford to offer Hollywood of any kind there are not equals
Bollywood can't afford Hollywood

@@Arun914 that's impossible
Hollywood has once 'offered' their actress to Bollywood, but the movie failed hard. She starred with Salman Khan, and she's Ali Larter :)
The way this gentleman talks is very attractive.
Poor taste aunty

Imagine SRK with Tom Cruise in the next Mission Impossible movie!
as usual.. lovely to hear the legend talk

Yes, pictured here with a Bollywood actor.
Charming SRK 👑❤️🔥
Lol
Yeah, tell that to Lady Gaga.
Anil Kapoor and some few other Indian actors crossed over to Hollywood more than once, sadly SRK never did. That what makes him awesome, he's a rare gem.
He is so honest and a gentleman.
Most humble person ❤❤❤
It's not too late for SRK to crossover. He can do that at age 70 if he wanted to do so
these guys are offered only stereotypical roles from hollywood
his ego wouldnt accept anything less than lead. and bollywood actors dont always get given the lead in holly.
when you actually think about it it's not ego. HE is one of the top actors in the world rn, including hollywood. He is a top actor whether hollywood directors like it or not.
@JarlinJamesNDK13 well it weird they couldn't cast him but I doubt he would go there now because of the gazan war
SRK is awesome he doesn’t need to go to Hollywood just so that everyone hates his Indian accent they do that to every Bollywood celeb who goes over to Hollywood
I'm sorry if i'm wrong. "My name is khan" is not Hollywood movie right?
A very good decision taken by SRK not do a film like anil Kapoor did were beaten by female actresses in Mission Impossible.
Top tier Bollywood actors rarely get a good role in Hollywood. They are mostly offered stereotypical roles. Almost none of the roles are memorable.
An Indian actor could never cut it in Hollywood. Some have tried but put in stereotypical roles and then never seen again.
Do you mean Hollywood
It's American cinema. White supremacists give only a few roles to other ethnicities in the name of DIVERSITY QUOTA. In the world of streaming platforms, nobody cares about these boundaries anymore. I personally watch content from all continents
A Man with a Character.
SRK ❤ I love the way he talks
Because he had offered secondary roles.
ab isse humble insaan kon hii hoga
Yep 2 of my favorite people on this earth!! ❤
Well, Its better to be the king of a small pond, than a struggler in an ocean.
Young Srk would have been a great villain in a hollywood movie though! Think Anjaam era!
I’d hardly call the Hindi film industry a small pond. Smaller yes, but big enough to make him one of the richest and most famous actors in the world.
India isn't a small pond, dude. Indian cinema's influence is all over Asia. From Indonesia to Korea to Israel, Nepal, China, Pakistan and even is some western countries like England and US. I wouldn't call it a small pond.
Deluded if you think it’s influential in S Korea Israel Or China. The other countries are culturally similar to India and the other countries you mentioned have a large Indian expat population.
@@snehasebastian9743
I am not saying SRK is a bad actor.
But the fact is the type of audience that we have in India and the type of acting required in Indian movies especially the Masala Mass movies require a very different type of acting around which most of his career has revolved. Surely he did some great acting in movies like Chakde, Devdas and even Swades and My name is Khan but still most of his highly successful movies are less about good story or very compelling acting performance but rather his 'Charm' and style. And it is not just about him but most of the big name actors in Indian film industry (Hindi + South).
Whereas in hollywood or British films, the acting required to make a mark is very different. You wont be able to succeed over there by 'Spreading your arms', or 'Over the top' style of acting but more grounded and realistic potrayal of character, which I think very few actors in Indian film industry can do, not because they are 'Bad actors' but because that was not the type of audience and hence their acting evolved in a very different way. Less realistic, less compelling and more glamour oriented.
I personally like SRK because I have watched his movies since childhood and mostly in theatres when the came out, and surely he is better as an actor than Salman or Amir. Now, Amir is not bad actor but his movies are better in terms of story writing as compared to SRK, which makes the success of SRK films depend more on his ability to draw audience into theatres through his charm and style.
But yeah, I still believe they wouldn't have been as big stars as they are today had they been competing in Hollywood.
Even today, if SRK stars in a hollywood movie, he can easily be outclassed in terms of acting by other actor in the same movie even with less star power.
And remember, Indian audience until very recently have never focussed much on how an actor portrays a tough role on screen. They want somebody to entertain, and if somebody with even poor acting skills (Varun Dhawan) or Ananya Pandey can make them entertain, they become stars.
you built Bollywood and now it is much better than Hollywood
Bro what 💀💀💀💀💀
lol😂
Bollywood is barely surviving these days with the help of South movie industry
It is the quality of the movies that improved and people from the west actually watching Bollywood movies now comparing just 10-15 years ago maybe thanks to Netflix and other paid channels as well.
SRK is the one that is well know for the younger generation who promoted Bollywood .
@@ashutosh1727 I'd prefer Taare Zameen Par, 3 idiots, Chak de, My Name is Khan over any Hollywood movie
@@ashutosh1727 Please show a bigger hit than Jawan,Pathan after RRR from South?

Lol
King of lowball crap
This is the best time to crossover when diversity is such a big deal in Hollywood. The Chinese got Crazy Rich Asians and Shang Chi, Japanese got Godzilla.
Love Shah Rukh💙
Shahrukh should do God appearance in Hollywood marvels
I love him 😍
Low standard !
One of my favorite actor 😍
He doesn't need to go to Hollywood
Shah rukh is lying here. All insiders know that Shah rukh was beyond livid with his manager and team because they recommended he not take on the role of the game show host in Slumdog millionaire because they felt it was beneath him. So when he turned down the role and ut was given to Anil kapoor and became a Oscar blockbuster then Shah rukh felt like an idiot and yelled at his team. He always regretted turning down that role but will never admit it
On hindsight, his team chose well for him. That "Role" was really beneath him tbh.
@@darkcider135 That is the problem with these huge egotistical Bollywood stars that they are not modest like Hollywood actors. If SRK would have taken Anil Kapoors role in Slumdog then he would have received multiple offers from Hollywood like Anil Kapoor did. Anil is older yet he did not feel that role demeaning to him because a real actor accepts roles of character and substance. SRK is not a great actor only more action star that is all
@@Kuzuri76lol Anil Kapoor wasn't exactly a star at that time. He was pretty much out of the limelight. It's great for him that that role boosted his career. SRK needed no such boost, he was already a well established star, so yeah that role was actually kind of beneath him.
SRK should be more honest, natural in real life n interviews rather trying to talk very good and charming making people to like him this is done by young people. Grow up Shahrukh.
Cause in this day and age anything "real" you say can get you cancelled.
Same reason chunky pandey flopped in bollywood but was considered in huge superstar in another indian film industry, cant be succesful in everything.
That's a really good human, utmost respect to him!
Global Star King Khan love from South ❤❤❤❤
hang on to your talent India cause hollywood is coming for them.
1:56 it a polite way of saying hollywood didn't want him
Simple. He was never good enough. End of.
Now is the time!
He should be cast in dune 3.
Katrina Kaif is also a good choice for the film.
It would be the best decision to make them part of the film, as it would create hype among south asian audiences hence more success for the film!
Shahrukh Khan is considered short if he enter Hollywood. To be real and muscular hero they should be above average 5ft 11inces like Brad Pitt. For me, heroes should be at least 6ft tall in Hollywood.😁😁😁💪💪💪
It’s not because of height genius! Tom cruise, Jet Lee and Jackie Chan are short too!! Many younger actors and actresses are short. Hollywood actually has actors and actresses of all heights compared to Asian entertainment industries that normal people are short but you should only be tall to be a lead!
SRK is a King of Bollywood always nobody even near SRK ❤❤❤❤
Arey 🫏 !
Ironically Big B, Dhanush, and Rajinikanth got a hollywood offer and have done a film in Hollywood.
That’s bullshit.
@@BlueSkiesAbove39 it's not bullshit big B played a role in The Great Gatsby.
@@yasin6118 played a role? lol big b was literally in that movie for one scene.
@@BlueSkiesAbove39 Ok.. he is in that film in one scene, so that's not considered a role? lol
@@yasin6118 He has less than 5 minutes of screen time, so no I wouldn't consider it a role.
He is a audience pleaser who seeks impact of his films on his particular audience.
He is not a craft pursuer or someone who goes in to deliver the best for the role he is offered. He is a man who wants his characters to be make audience happy and make money through it.
The actors like Christian Bale, Joaquin Phoenix, Manoj Bajpaye or Jaydeep Ahlawat would seem on the opposite end of tge spectrum where give priority to the character instead of audience.
These guys prefer to go all out in playing a character, the audience appleasement is not their concern. They try to show how a character feels instead of inciting any particular emotion to audience. The part of inciting emotion in audience is usually done by the directors, recording, production, and editing teams.
With that being said, srk has done Don series and Darr. So he is capable of going off his standard way but he doesnt anymore.
Audience pleaser?😂
Zero, FAN, Raees, Dear zindagi, Swades, Dil se, Asoka, Devdas,Anjaam,My name is khan, Dunki, each movie is different and isn’t what his audience asked him to do
That’s why some of them flopped
Audience pleaser is Salman khan, who just keeps doing the same action genre
Srk is the best actor, better than the ones that u listed
See the diversity in his filmography then talk
I have seen all 65-66 movies of his and he has done better work than all actors in the world combined
Be it in any genre, except thriller and Horror
Can any of the above actors u mentioned do romance genre, or comedy genre like srk
NO
They also have a comfort zone which is playing serious character roles
@@ironicaaz3593 Manoj Bajpayee can do way better comedy or romance than SRK, his only downside is that he looks like a common man, And that is let down for mass mass audience's White skin handsom face hero fantasy.
All of the movies you mention had a clear cut moral message that he knows will please his audience. On the contrary look at something like Aligarh or Gangs of Wasseypur. They are pure storys, not a moral message.
Salman doesnt give cra
@@ironicaaz3593 Salman too doesnt go into playing a detailed character, most his films are also about what he thinks is right thing to do. Anyway his characters also share his personality or moral values in most of the films, just like srk. So diversity is not the best thing any of these two are known for his acting.
Lets talk about the Amir khan as well. What do you think about his acting ? Is he a inferior or superior actor than SrK to you?
@@abhaykumar619I agree with your statements 100% .Btw amir vs srk In terms of acting I see both of them are great actors . But in terms of filmography somwhere I will say amir khan for being in movies like 3 idiots, Pk, Tare zamin par, dangal, Lagaan, rang de basanti etc
"like i spread my arms again and again"... 😂😂
he should be the new James Bond then
Why would or should he.. Let him do his Bollywood movies. He doesn't need Hollywood. Its not like Hollywood is the pinnacle of acting and/or movie making.
This is called Comfort zone as an actor.
Because he know he gotta act there, not just pull up your hands in the air and give cringe expressions 😅😂
SRK can act when given a good script and a decent director. He has done so in Swades, Chak De India, My Name is Khan, Darr, Baazigar. It's not his fault that audience in India for the last decade only prefers to see masala movies. He did Zero, Fan and despite acting well in both of those movies, they failed because the story wasn't Masala enough. He did illogical action film like Jawan and Pathaan and literally broke all time box office records for Hindi movie industry. At the end of the day it's a business and his movies needs to make money to be considered as successful. So why wouldn't he do films that people want?
So he just panders to his audience instead of trying to raise the bar or challenge his audience his forbid.
@@BlueSkiesAbove39 are you a special kind of idi0t? Movie
Making is a business at the end of the day. People spend 100-150 crores to make a movie these days. SRK is produce all his movies through his company Red Chillies. So he should drown his company in loss of millions after millions to make art genre films which audience doesn’t want him to star in just so someone like you can hold him in high regard in youtube’s comment section?
Lol he runs his fingers through his hair and gives his signature dumb grin. Gosh it's annoying
@@whiteknight8734 SRK can act through just one expression.
He is the most overrated actor like Rajnikant, who just exists due to blind fan following. It's a truth!!
He just acts epileptic in all his emotional scenes

Hollywood is best bollywood kaachra
Theres a famous saying that goes 'its better to reign in hell than serve in heaven'.
Tbh, indian actors are treated like dirt in Hollywood. We had nargis fakri in spy, dhanush in captain america man or something, anil kapoor.. unless they do the lead like irfan did in life of pie, they'll ruin their chances. Even then, they don't get better roles. Let's be real here, Hollywood audience would call our actors as the indian guy or girl only.
What the heck you on about? When was Danush in Captain America? Hollywood doesn't treat Bollywood actors like dirt. Bollywood actors are unproven in Hollywood hence why they don't get main roles. Bollywood actors being leads in Hollywood would not make the film any money because they are unknown to Hollywood audiences.
Cause back in the day in Hollywood actors had to be good looking and have real acting skill to be in Hollywood movies. Diversity quota wasn’t a thing. Shakruk is an actor who capitalized on mass majority of Indians with average taste. All he had to do is just overact and 90% Indians are mesmerized by the overacting cause they dont know any better. Sharuk is smart he kept delivering to the same clown fanbase and it kept him rich and famous . He’s a master businessman and average actor so he doesn’t need Hollywood cause if he enter Hollywood the contrast between his acting and a real Hollywood actor would make Sharuk look really bad . Same reason why Priyanka keep Bollywood away from her cause Bollywood is primarily and I overacting involved industry made for majority Indians with bad taste in cinematography.
Not really khan can really act I wouldn't be surprised he would be there one day but the chances of that are sim to none now because the west role in the gazan war
The only indian actors who successfully potrayed indian characters in hollywood are dhanush in gray man,irfan khan in jurassic world and life of pi and dev patel ....
Rest all are just stereotypical indian charecters that didnt have any depth or substance..
SRK is short . Hollywood heroes are tall at least 6 ft tall.😁😁😁
Tom cruise and Cilian Murphy are both 5 foot 7, don’t make such stupid claims
Hollywood wont gave you a good narative to other country, mostly the character will be given all had damaging moral in it depict the opposite of the religious or the culture in it. Is not SRK, but in my country some of the hollywood came to ask of our actress, and she also like SRK , rejected the offered because of the role she in.If the actor is already big enough to represent a country ... they need to really take precaution on 1st impression for the world . They no need to lowered themself when he already successed on his acting and his already had that portfolio . He no need to start on the starter line in Hollywood.
SRK 👑🤍
Only dilip kumar was offerd lawrence of arabia he. Was legend sharukh no where near dilip
why every british people talk like they still own India lol
Hollywood waale sharukh ko puchts bhi nahi hey
He isn't a good actor, that's why he's never been offered a role. He just is in his own head.
He really is overrated. It's like he acts as himself in every movie😂
Loved Dunki!
Global star
I think it more hollywood saw no used for him than him saying they used India actors for stereotypes because nowadays the western media non whites characters are non stereotypes characters than the previous ones but the white people there complain about that if hollywood wants they can easy recruit him for their production
He has never been offered a role in hollywood😂
King Khan ❤❤❤❤
In India/Bollywood (atleast) nobody/No established actor does an audition for a particular role in a character based film. directors simply approach to their preferable actor with scripts and hope they accept it for their own certain reasons.
Hollywood wont cast big actors like SRK/Salman, cuz the role might not be a lead role which the big "Stars" always tends to play here.
Because nobody that isn’t indian knows who he is maybe
interesting
Irfan Khan was able to because he was the only Bollywood star who could actually act.
Sir just to authentic Indian films not crap movies of Karan johar and stupid unrealistic pathaan movie.Sir plz do authentic movie
Pr team nhi chalti na wahape😂, fadtus hero
Bahut sahi kaha
Hollywod is messed up anyways
Average actor packaged well
Dhanush from Tamil industry did cross over to Hollywood. I believe, you would need to be an acting prowess in a country to cross over to Hollywood. Example- Javier Bardem, Penelope Cruz both from Spain, Irrfan Khan from India, Salma Hayek from Mexico, Vincent Cassel from France, Chris Waltz and Fassbender from Germany and others. SRK is an average actor whose films are entertaining
You've never seen his older movies then. He experimented a lot in his early years and gave a couple of bangers as well. As for dhanush well he in that movie for less than 5 mins and that movie bombed as well.
@@JarlinJamesNDK13 well I did, but his acting level in older movies still don't warranty him a shot at Hollywood.
@@venkatsarma007 and people like the rock does ? what about vin diesel ?
@@JarlinJamesNDK13 well, they are US citizens. For an Indian to cross over to Hollywood, they need to have better standards. It's similar to Indian H1B work visa holders in USA who hold a Master's or PhD degree whereas half of people in USA don't have a college degree
Hollywood will not give you chance may be spot boy job
Yeh Dubai se agee nhi jata 😂
Hollywood me spot boy ka kaam miljayega
Only if he is lucky.
Tu india ke liye theek hey england america saapne dekhna bhul ja
The accent won't work. Sorry.
Because he cannot act...Can only dance around trees while lip-syncing...Oh plus romancing girls half his age!!!
Hollywood only offer him films where he gets to act his age...So he would be playing a grandpa!!!
Because he has no real talent that will appeal to a mature global audience that's why.
He's a Bollywood superstar and also a global icon. But he lacks physicality, acting range or any exotic talent to excel in Hollywood. Although, imo I think he could've been successful in Hollywood rom-coms or serious romantic cinema 📽️...
He isn’t a global icon, you are totally wrong.
You've clearly not seen any of his older movies then
Cos he's not that talented 😅 Hollywood is a different ball game
😂
Kyuki waha actors chahiye 😅
Stardom k bhooke nhi😅
with your subpar acting, no stardom will work in hollywood.
Truely said
Because he is a pathetic actor. Like Dwyne Johnson
Maybe coz he can't act. Bollywood acting is the over the top
Because he is a terrible actor.
Hollywood ne oscar nahi diya mut diya srk ke par
overrated actor
Nobody cares, LOL. All bollywood movies are full of songs in which all actors aren't the real singers, miming all the way while the storyline is all about marriage.
He is a mediocre actor and will never be offered main actors position in Hollywood . The people of watch his film are just blind followers who don't really care what content he makes as long as he is present.
its not always about acting
I’m sorry but he makes crap movies. He might be a good actor but I’ve only seen that in Fan. The others are crap. I mean Jaawan, what a joke.
The thing is simple. He cant match with a Hollywood script bcoz of overacting
Boycott Bollywood
The fuck😅
Kya hoya Behan?
Fir ek din aayega bologe boycott Indian cinema boycott Hollywood sab kuch boycott hi karte raho kaam dhanda to hai nahi😂
To all brothers who have commented above. This is maximum number of replies I have got on any post. You all have to realize one thing, that it is very easy to turn the society towards wrong culture but takes a lot of hard work and planning to do the right thing.
Do you really believe that Bollywood has done good for Indian society? Our children are following these people who sell gutkha openly on silver screen. Aren’t they setting a wrong example? You all have to decide.
We have to start appreciating real creativity and dedication to work, knowledge etc.
there are many more things to say but I hope you get what I am trying to say.
@@SwatiAgarwI know that but that doesn't means other industry are good. For ex. south industry is literally the worst in terms of female cast harassment and so and so. That doesn't means we should boycott them
@Swati Agarwal Bollywood or any other industry is for our entertainment and for doing something good for the society as you say. And people idolize them for the hardwork they have done to reach where they are. And about the ads even legendary cricketers and also actors from south are doing the ads. Why only demean Bollywood? And have your seen anyone say like this actor is doing gutkha ad so I also need to eat gutkha? And talking about talent and creativity there's more than enough of it to appreciate and lastly Bollywood is Hindi cinema so it also holds a cultural significance for the whole country as Hindi is majorly spoken language in India.
