Shah Rukh Khan Does A Dev Anand In Imtiaz Ali’s Next

Shah Rukh Khan continues to explore new avenues through his  roles. After playing  his own fan in Fan and a real-life gangster hooch seller in his next release Shah Rukh goes right into the role of a tourist guide in Imtiaz Ali’s next untitled film.

According to a well-informed source the role is directly inspired by Dev Anand’s legendary turn as tourist guide in Vijay Anand’s Guide.

“Shah plays a tourist guide. Like Dev Saab in  Vijay Anand’s film there are  many twists and turns in the Shah Rukh’s character-graph . He undergoes a moral transformation that changes his life and that of others whom he encounters,” says the source.

It looks like Shah Rukh is determined to  bend the rules as far as possible even if it means forfeiting his regular blockbuster level of success.
