A new film is like a startup. It is the riskiest business: Shah Rukh Khan

Shahrukh Khan walks into Studio 8-C at Film City Complex in Goregaon, Mumbai, at 9 pm on the dot, belying the tardiness one associates with stardom. In a freewheeling interview with ET, he talks about the future of entertainment, the pay gap in Bollywood, the brands he endorses, the gizmos he loves, the books he is reading — and loneliness. The only question he ducks is on Me Too movement, as he claims his manager has forbidden him to hold forth on controversies.

The world will change. There are many films that do not find a place in the theatre — not because they are not good enough. The quality of life is dependent on being able to do what one wants to, as and when one wishes to. It’s not about a big house or a big car or a big club that you are a member of. Film-watching should be as and when and how one wishes to. I can’t exclaim, ‘Arre phone pe meri picture dekh rahe ho (You are watching my movie on the phone)!’ If you like it that way, fair enough. If you like it bigger, put it on your television. If you like it even bigger, go to the theatre.

Netflix and all other platforms are here to stay. It gives an opportunity to a lot of youngsters who didn’t know where to take their small films. So my deal with Netflix CEO Reed Hastings and chief content officer Ted Sarandos is not just on paper. I’ll try and make stuff for you for which I can’t find a theatre and I am non-self-obsessed to know that certain films don’t need to be in the theatre. Theatres will also change. It will perhaps be more like Broadway where movies will play for six months. It will be a 360-degree experience, there will be 3D and holographic stuff and more interaction. It will be community viewing, like watching a game, like going to a theme park
My own attempt is to make Indian films watched at that level. Again, not taking away from the greatness of anything that others have achieved, I’d like Tom Cruise to say one day that ‘I’ve been given a chance in a Hindi film’. Man, that will be wonderful. Christopher Nolan would say that there is a producer in India who wants him to make a film. Inshallah, that will happen
