Shah Rukh Khan confessed that venturing into direction would take up all of his time, and he did not want to miss out on AbRam's growing up years.
Shah Rukh Khan with AbRam
From Kangana Ranaut to Aamir Khan, several actors have donned the director's hat. However, Shah Rukh Khan is in no mood to be on the other side of the camera just yet, and one of the reasons for this is his tiny tot AbRam.
In an interview with a leading publication, Shah Rukh admitted that direction was "difficult" for him. "I can imagine what the story is going to be like. However, I don't 'really know' it. I believe that if you are going to helm a film then you should be aware of the plot. You've to be able to say confidently 'this is what my story is,'" he said.
Shah Rukh said that in his head, the story is not watertight. "My thing is I'm assuming the possibilities. But sometimes, I haven't tied up all the loose ends," he said.
Being a doting father to his little munchkin AbRam is also a reason why Shah Rukh is not keen on venturing into direction right now. "I've a little one right now. So, if I became a director, I would be locked in a room for two years, which is not a good thing to do at present. Sitting with AbRam and trying to write a story will be impossible. I don't want to miss out on his growing up years," he said.
On the work front, Shah Rukh will soon start shooting for Mahesh Mathai's Saare Jahaan Se Achcha, which will bring the story of cosmonaut Rakesh Sharma, the first Indian to travel into space, alive on celluloid. Siddharth Roy Kapur and Ronnie Screwvala will produce the biopic under their banners Roy Kapur Films and RSVP Films, respectively.
