I have used so many titles before and now we have run out of good titles. How to say Shah Rukh Khan in an as? Now, Shah Rukh Khan as Shah Rukh Khan King. I know it’s kind of a showoff. But, since we are in Dubai, they all know that a king will always be a king. I am working very hard, Siddharth and his team working very hard and Inshallah we are going to make a great film for you all,” he added.
