SRK’s new avatar

Published September 23, 2012

The promos of Yash Chopra’s latest and much-awaited film, Jab Tak Hai Jaan (JTHJ) starring Shahrukh Khan, Katrina Kaif and Anushka Sharma are out. By the look of it, the film comes across as a typical romantic Yashji film with shades of politics and family drama.

One interesting thing about it is that SRK has kept a beard for his part in JTHJ (he plays an army officer). Recently, he tweeted about it: “I had fallen in love with my beard. But it started to scratch… so ripped it out and had to let it go. That hurts too…”

Well, SRK, hopefully you don’t have to rip out your role from the film once it gets released.
