Bollywood superstar Sharukhan has never been offered a role in Hollywood and is not particularly surprised – he doubts he is talented enough.
SRK is in London promoting his latest flick chak de india , in which he portrays a hockey coach in charge of a motley team of girls."If there is a (Hollywood) role which is interesting enough, I would do it," he said in an interview.
"But so far I have never been offered a big role or a good role from Hollywood. Actually, for that matter, never a role from Hollywood -- big or small."
"I don't think I am a specifically talented enough 40-year-old actor. I am sure there are a lot of 40-year-old actors there who are more talented, better looking, speak the language better. And I don't have a USP of Kung Fu, I can't do something specific. Unless they start doing Hindi film songs in Hollywood, I don't think anybody is going to cast me. I don't think working down there (Hollywood) is the ultimate aim or should be the ultimate aim of an Indian actor."
In ‘Chak De India’ SRK plays alongside 16 female newcomers who make up the ragtag hockey team that challenges for the pinnacle of the sport. He said he found the experience of working with untrained performers refreshing.
"I have been acting for so long that I have developed a system of getting things right," he said.
"I have fixed expressions, I have a fixed way, a method to the madness that we call acting. But you have a set of people who react differently and it still sounds right. I believe in the maxim there is nothing right or wrong when you act."
SRK said he hoped the film would do something to empower women.
"I hope it does talk about the uplifting of women and the fact that they should be given choices in decision making."
SRK added that he had no intention of joining politics.
"No. I am not so selfless that I would be able to give up my life for the good of the nation. If I may use the word, I would screw it up further than it is already screwed."
