Shah Rukh Khan’s Birthday: A Look At Films In Which Shah Rukh Khan Aced Offbeat Roles

We dig the actor's unconventional characters despite the fact we love him for spinning off the magic of his charisma. Here is a list of a few of his movies that stood out.

In the Alia Bhatt-starring movie Dear Zindagi, the actor plays a middle-aged psychological counsellor named Dr. Jehangir Khan who offers the actor guidance in Goa. This was a non-romantic supporting role as well.

In the 2016 drama-thriller film Fan, SRK carried out two roles. The movie's theme focused on a fan of Shah Rukh Khan who became enraged after seeing the star in reality.

In the wake of the 9/11 attacks on the twin towers, Rizwan Khan, a character played by SRK, an autistic guy, embarks on a quest to prove the truth about himself.

SRK played Kabir Khan in the film Chak De! India. It was based on the life of Indian hockey player Mir Ranjan Negi, who faced severe accusations of fixing the match against Pakistan at the 1982 Asian Games. Later, he returned as the head coach of the India women's national hockey team, which won gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games.

The much-loved Hindi film Don received a modern makeover with SRK as the lead. Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Arjun Rampal, and Isha Koppikar appeared in the movie as supporting actors under the helm of Farhan Akhtar.

West Side Story, a 1961 American classic, acted as a loose inspiration for Shah Rukh Khan's flick Josh. Two local gangs located in Vasco town in Goa are the focus of the narrative. The actor portrayed the brother of Aishwarya in the supporting part.

One of Shah Rukh Khan's most underappreciated films was Swades. It tells the tale of Mohan Bhargava, played by Khan, a NASA scientist who returns to India and uses his knowledge to aid the well-being of the locals.

The central character of Baazigar is Ajay Sharma, a cold-blooded killer. In order to take revenge, he befriends and then murders the daughter of a wealthy businessman. For his work, Shah Rukh received the Film Fare Award for Best Actor in a Leading Role.

In the 1993 thriller drama Darr, Shah Rukh teamed up with director Yash Chopra to play a viciously obsessed one-sided lover. He received several awards and cemented his place on the list of outstanding actors owing to his performance as Rahul Mehra.

In the drama movie Anjaam from 1994, SRK portrayed the role of Vijay Agnihotri, an affluent businessman. The movie takes the same route Darr did, and the actor turns into yet another bitter one-sided lover.
