Shah Rukh Khan: Why did Shahrukh leave Leonardo DiCaprio's film 'Extreme City'? The director revealed the secret.

Dec 05,2024

Renowned director Paul Schrader recently opened up about his shelved film 'Extreme City'. The film had cast Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan opposite Leonardo DiCaprio. The project began during the 2011 Berlin Film Festival, with Martin Scorsese attached as executive producer. However, the film eventually stalled and the main reasons behind it were Shah Rukh Khan's waning interest and his reluctance to play a secondary role to Leonardo DiCaprio.

Director's big revelation

Paul shared during a podcast interview that there was a lot of enthusiasm for the film initially and the three had also discussed its possibilities together in Berlin, but over time Shah Rukh's attention started shifting away from the project, after which the film was shelved. According to him, if Shah Rukh had participated in the film, he would have had to play a 'secondary' role i.e. second lead role to Leonardo DiCaprio, which was a completely new thing for Shah Rukh.

Shahrukh was called the boss.
Paul Schrader said, "Shahrukh is the boss. He appoints the director himself and sometimes hires multiple directors for the same film. He can choose different directors for music, action, and individual scenes." He also said that Shahrukh had never worked under the direction of any writer and this made him uncomfortable.

Shahrukh is seen in the role of a gangster.
In the story of this film, Shahrukh was to play the role of a gangster, who confronts an American police officer played by Leonardo. However, the project was closed due to Shahrukh losing interest and with this, Leonardo DiCaprio also lost interest in this film.

Shahrukh will be seen in King.
Talking about the work front, Shahrukh Khan will soon be seen in the film 'King'. In this film, he will be seen with his daughter Suhana Khan. Abhishek Bachchan is in a negative role in the film. It is being directed by Sujoy Ghosh. The audience is eagerly waiting for this film.
