Ram Gopal varma (RGV) revealed in a conversation with Radio Nasha that although he and Shah Rukh Khan (SRK) discussed multiple projects, none of them materialised.

According to RGV, SRK’s personality and acting style were not compatible with his filmmaking approach.

RGV described SRK as a live wire — energetic, charismatic, and spontaneous, while RGV’s films are typically subtle, composed, slow-burning, and intense.

The filmmaker felt that restricting SRK’s natural flair would be unfair both to the actor and to the audience that expects his signature performance.

RGV stressed that he did not want to force SRK into a style that didn't suit him, which ultimately prevented a collaboration.

🟣 Example Project That Didn’t Work Out — “Company.”

Ram Gopal varma once approached SRK for his acclaimed gangster film “Company”.

RGV wanted SRK to play Malik, a role designed to be calm, cold, restrained, and almost lazy in posture.

The filmmaker felt that SRK’s energetic screen persona conflicted with the character’s tone.

While RGV believed SRK could have performed well, he thought audiences would not accept that version of SRK, making the match unsuitable.

🟣 RGV on Shah Rukh Khan’s Acting Style and Stardom

RGV said, “Tell Shah Rukh Khan about a scene, and he instantly gets up and performs it.”

The filmmaker claimed that SRK has such a strong command over his performance and camera presence that a director’s influence becomes limited.

According to RGV, SRK doesn’t need much directing, and his stardom can overshadow directorial style, which made RGV feel he wouldn’t have much creative contribution in an SRK project.

🟣 Shah Rukh Khan’s Current Work Front

SRK will next be seen in the much-anticipated film “King.”

The cast includes abhishek Bachchan, deepika Padukone, rani Mukerji, Jaideep Ahlawat, Anil Kapoor, Jackie Shroff, Arshad Warsi, Raghav Juyal, Saurabh Shukla, Abhay Verma, Karanvir Malhotra, and Suhana Khan.

The film has been making headlines since its announcement and is expected to be a star-studded cinematic event.
