"I started working with Yash Chopraji with 'Darr' in which I was a bad guy. I was killing people and misbehaving completely (referring to his earlier films) even without being on drugs and that was really really intense.
"I remember Yashji telling me that till the time I don't play a lover boy nothing will happen or change for me professionally," Shah Rukh said. The 51-year-old star said he was initially skeptical about playing a lover boy on-screen.
"I did not want to be a lover boy as I am not good with romance. I felt I was not good looking enough. I don't think I was good enough to play a lover boy. But Yashji kept telling me if I don't play a lover boy on-screen nothing will happen and my career will not move ahead," he said.
"When he tells you something again and again it does make some sense. So even though if I don't look like a romantic hero or don't act like one, I just had to go by his beliefs and I did it and it paid the dividend," he said.
