The Asian giant’s Hindi film industry churns out hundreds of movies every year, raking in billions of US dollars in ticket receipts, but is yet to release a blockbuster that really takes Western box offices by storm. “I hope to achieve that but I don’t sit down with people (and focus on) ‘What is the crossover film that we can make?’ No, I think it will happen because I believe in it,” said Khan. The actor known in India as “King Khan” or simply “SRK” to his legions of fans is arguably Hindi cinema’s biggest and most-recognizable star of the modern age. His next film, called “Dear Zindagi” (“Dear Life“), hits cinema screens on Friday. But Khan admits he initially had misgivings about playing the role of Jehangir Khan in the comedy-drama directed by Gauri Shinde. “I’d be honest, I didn’t think I’d like the film. Not because it’s not a good film... But it’s not my genre of film. I like bad boys. I like James Bond,” he said. - See more at: http://www.arabtoday.net/391/shah-rukh-dreams-of-global-bollywood-hit-140236#sthash.J6x3SGmG.dpuf
