Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan reveals if he will play the iconic character ‘James Bond’!

Speaking on Wednesday at the World Government Summit 2024 in Dubai was Shah Rukh Khan. In addition to discussing his ascent to fame, the actor discussed how he would have loved to play the renowned British secret agent James Bond but was unable to do so at the 11th World Government Summit (WGS) held at the Madinat Jumeirah. Also, in the James Bond film series, everyone from Pierce Brosnan to Daniel Craig has portrayed the fictional spy.

In an interview titled “The Making Of A Star: A Conversation With Shah Rukh Khan,” the actor made light of the fact that he “is not a legend” and responded, “I am James Bond,” when asked what his name was. Shah Rukh responded to the question of whether he would like to “play Bond” by saying, “I really wanted to, but I think I am too short… However, I have enough skin tone to play the Bond villain.”

The actor continued to talk about his 33-year acting career and rise to fame. According to a report by Gulfnews.com, in response to the question of why he chose not to go to Hollywood, the actor said, “I know many people from the American and the English film industries. However, I haven’t received any good job offers, so I started to question if I was overcommitting. Although I was offered Slumdog Millionaire, I turned it down because I thought the game show host job was too cruel.”

Anil Kapoor went on to play the aforementioned role in Danny Boyle’s 2008 film, which went on to win eight of the ten Oscars in 2009. The actor’s most recent film was Dunki, which came out in December 2023. Prior to that, Shah Rukh starred in Jawaan and Pathaan, two consecutive action films. Two of the biggest box office successes of 2023 were these two films.
