Mahesh Manjrekar feels Shah Rukh Khan should 'do something out of the box', says 'he is doing a role today that Ranbir Kapoor-Ranveer Singh are doing so why will people see him'

Filmmaker-actor Mahesh Manjrekar recently talked about Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and his choices of roles. Mahesh, who has been working in the industry for over 45 years now, said that SRK is doing the roles that Ranbir Kapoor and Ranveer Singh are doing so he must do something 'out of the box'. 

Speaking with a leading daily about actors of the current generation, Mahesh brought up Shah Rukh's name and said, “One actor who I feel has not done justice to his talent is Shah Rukh Khan and the problem is because they don't want to break that shell. They want to live in that shell of comfort ki meri ye picture chali, main loverboy chali (This particular film worked, my loverboy-themed movie worked)… They need to break that shell."

"Shah Rukh is doing a role today that Ranbir Kapoor or a Ranveer Singh is doing. So why will people see a Shah Rukh? They will want to see Shah Rukh in a role that they should feel ke ye role Shah Rukh ka tha (Shah Rukh owned the role). Age bhi right hai, sab right hai (Age and everything matched him well.) Somewhere I feel he should do something out of the box and he'll do a brilliant job. He's a fantastic actor,” he added.  

On the work front, Shah Rukh was last seen in the 2018 film Zero. The actor will be next seen in Yash Raj Films' Pathan
