Shah Rukh Khan is gearing up for his upcoming movie ‘Dear Zindagi’, opposite Alia Bhatt. He has often praised Alia for being ‘too good too soon’. But it seems like that’s not all that impresses him. SRK said that what excites him is the fact that the younger generation always brings something new to the table. Talking about this, he said:
I think actors of the younger generation feel older when they work with me. I tell them, ‘C’mon guys, you can be a little younger.’ I get really turned on by actors who are trying to do something new and not just coming on the set, saying their lines and leaving. When I see them, I feel I’m exactly like them, so I don’t feel the generation gap. Actors don’t have an age, which is not to deny my age, but I genuinely think that the maturity of your sense of acting does not define your age. I mean, you can be a very stupid actor at 51 or the other way around.”
Directed by Gauri Shinde,‘Dear Zindagi’, hits the theatres on 25th November 2016.
