Mumbai, May 25: Shah Rukh Khan, who touched the pinnacle of success playing dark roles to perfection, thereby defining the new age villain, seems to be going back to basics now. Struggling fate with a series of duds at the Box Office and the dreary chase of his Knight Riders at the IPL this year, Shah Rukh, once touted as King Khan is resorting to every possible mean to justify his kingly status.The actor, who became a superstar only after he played the antihero par excellence, will soon be seen in his most loved avatar— that of a villain. According to the latest rumours running wild in B-town, SRK has given his nod to play the main villain in ‘Dhoom 3’. Insiders state that SRK has been approached by the producers of the ‘Dhoom’ series to play the lead villain in Dhoom 3. The actor, who is known to be thick pals with Aditya Chopra, agreed to portray the role after hearing a tentative one-line narration. A news daily even quoted a source as saying, "Yash Raj Films have been going through a lull period as none of their on-the-floor movies or their completed ones are generating any curiosity from the buyers as well as the audiences. SRK has always been a quick-fix solution for the Chopras. When- ever their mega boat is rocked, good friend Adi Chopra calls on SRK and the actor steps in to bail out his dost". Well looks like SRK’s professional life has come a full circle.
