Shahrukh as Samar: King Khan Opens Up About His Role In Jab Tak Hai Jaan
In an exclusive interview with Indian Express, Shahrukh opened up about Yash Chopra, his new business idea of setting up a kids amusement park, and his character in Jab Tak Hai Jaan.
When asked what kind of a lover he plays in the movie, SRK replied, “He’s (Samar) angry, unforgiving, with loads of emotional baggage. I play him sweet when he needs to be, actually he is a lot like me…. So Samar, the guy I play in Jab Tak Hai Jaan is a combination of angst, tenderness, anger and yeah he’s pretty unforgiving. He’s a lover who feels there is arrogance in love.”
When quizzed to explain what he meant by 'arrogant lover', Shahrukh said, “ …he’s the kind who says to the girl that if you go with someone else then I’d sympathize with you because I know nobody can love you the way I do. There’s a sense of ownership in Samar. He feels he owns the person he loves but then when its needed he can show his frailty also. I like this in him, he accepts his flaws and weaknesses.”
Talking about the “The Man Who Cannot Die” tagline, King Khan said, “I play a Bomb Disposal guy actually. His job to diffuse bombs and save lives. Kinda like Hurt Locker. He does it for a living and believes that when life gives you so much pain and hurt then you don’t need to be afraid of bombs. Samar thinks if we don’t need a Life Defusal Suit then why do we need a Bomb Defusal Suit. Samar is calm about his job.. about being ‘The Man Who Can’t Die.’”
Well, watching the biggest phenomenon in the industry today play a guy with a devil-may-care attitude towards life… and death is certainly going to be a once in a lifetime experience.
