After being a presenter at the Golden Globes, Shahrukh Khan has set his eyes on the prize. He has decided that it's time to get serious and now one of the biggest and well recognized actors in Bollywood is going for the gold, Academy Awards gold that is. Shahrukh Khan wants to go into what he calls "serious cinema," which will give him an opportunity to take part in an award winning performance. Shahrukh Khan was offered a role in the Oscar winner 'Slumdog Millionaire,' but at the time refused. It probably didn't give him much pleasure to see that the film won big at just about all of the award ceremonies, since he could've been a part of that international fame. That's why he's not passing up any more chances at Oscar gold.
His close friend Preity Zinta told Shahrukh Khan that she'll be teaming up with Indian/ Canadian filmmaker Deepa Mehta for her next film. This made Shahrukh Khan want an introduction by Preity Zinta to the critically acclaimed director on their trip to South Africa for the IPL.
Shahrukh Khan undoubtedly hopes that this will bring him closer to Oscar worthy recognition. But will it all be enough? Shahrukh Khan is no doubt an accomplished actor, but is he really Oscar worthy? Will this meeting with Deepa Mehta be the right thing to get his career geared up? It'll be interesting to see what kinds of roles Shahrukh Khan takes on in the near future to get closer to his new dream.
