Shah Rukh Khan is famous for his romantic roles in movies like Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai and more. But surprisingly, he doesn’t enjoy romantic films the most. Instead, he’s a fan of action movies, especially those of Tom Cruise.

Shah Rukh Loves Other Genre Of Films, Especially Action Movies

People expect SRK to love romantic movies, but he actually prefers action films. In an interview with Variety, he explained why he chose to return to acting with action-packed movies like Pathaan and Jawan after taking a break. The actor said, “I’m not limited to a genre as a viewer. I like to see action films. Strangely, my least favorite is romantic films. I like science-fiction films, dystopian world films, off-beat, human drama films. I love courtroom dramas. I love thrillers. I sometimes like a horror film.”

Talking about Tom Cruise’s films, he added, “I just felt a couple of years when I wasn’t working, that I haven’t done an out-and-out action film. I like Tom Cruise films. Mission Impossible — you don’t really have to worry. You will come back satisfied more often than not.”

Superstar Wish To Have A Room In Home With Film’s Of Every Genre

Shah Rukh further stated, “I have a dream. I want to have a room with pictures where — and this is not a narcissistic thing — if I look at my work, every film should feel of a genre that I have grown up watching. I’m not limited to a genre as a viewer. I like to see action films. Strangely, my least favorite is romantic films.”

SRK’s Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham Is Not A Romantic Movie!

SRK also talked about his image as a romantic hero. “As much as I love it, I’m surprised by the term of being a romantic hero. I’ve never thought of myself as that, to be honest. The other day, I was sitting with [director] Aditya Chopra, who kind of started this process with DDLJ. And filmamker told, “If we count, you’ve done about five or six romantic films, which are considered classic, sweeping romantic films — Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, maybe Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Dil To Pagal Hai, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi.” I don’t think Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham is a romantic film. I think I agree with him, but one gets obviously classified as that.”
