He is simply the best. It`s for nothing that they call him King Khan. When he became the first mainstream hero to play an anti-hero in Yash Chopra`s Darr, there were many who cautioned him. But SRK had the last laugh when he walked away with all the applause.
Shah Rukh has once again proved that it`s not the length of the role that matters. In Boney Kapoor`s Shakti, The Power, where he makes a special appearance, Shah Rukh walks away with all the laurels. Those who have seen the preview of Shakti have been raving about SRK`s performance in this film which also stars actors of the calibre of Nana Patekar and Karisma Kapoor.
Shakti is Shah Rukh`s and Karisma`s second film together after Dil To Pagal Hai. Shah Rukh plays a rakish yet heroic character who helps Nandini (Karisma) in her quest for a secure future for her son. SRK`s character appears only in the second half of the film and is said to dominate the last 7 reels. What do they say about stealing the thunder from under somebody`s nose?
