During the 90s, Shah Rukh Khan played every kind of role. He played a nasty villain, a man who lost everything, and a desirable and hot college boy. When SRK decided to enter the acting industry, he just wanted to work and earn a livelihood. But there was also passion beneath every project he signed up for.
Shah Rukh Khan has worked with many prominent filmmakers in his career of three decades.
