Have been gauging yeah. Opinions in their areas. One of the things that interests me bbc devonsjenny kumah has been to the constituency of north devon in a way is the academy, the oscars institution is 90 years which was held by the liberal democrats until 2015, when it was won old but it has only been on five by the conservatives. Now, the lib dems are occasions that an indian film has got a nomination. Do you think there is a bias hoping to win it back. Towards indian cinema, that it doesnt get more recognition by organisations like the Academy Awards . North devon. Coastal, rural towns and villages. Sometimes, we choose a film which we think is the best indian entry, and more often than not it is, but perhaps it does not fall theres a bit of everything into the way 0scar looks at cinema from the rest of the world. In this vast constituency. I hope that that changes, but i think from the indian side, on the coast is ilfracombe, all the top filmmakers and associations should make once a booming seaside town. An effort to understand what does but with the rise of cheap foreign travel, its faced decades of social 0scar desire from india as a film and economic challenges. That they would like to look up. North devon has traditionally been a lib dem stronghold. They held the seat for more than 20 im sure, between the thousands of films we make we will find years before losing it to the conservatives in 2015. Seven or ten like those two. So that is the reason, i think, more than a bias. But can they win the seat back one of the things that i really when a majority of people like about indian cinema is how here voted to leave . Self sufficient it is. It has its own industry, its own star system, among them, ben a localfisherman and it really can get who tells me hell be voting along without hollywood. I think hollywood only owns 10 conservative. Of the indian market. Being a fisherman in ilfracombe, do indians really care weve lost a lot of fishing fleets around the country. About what the rest of the world thinks about their cinema in a way, and obviously, our quota system because it is so self sufficient . Being made by the eu, i think if i was to look at it how many hundreds of thousands of miles away from where the actual from an artistic point of view, fishing is coming on, every artist wants more and you just lose a lot of fish and more recognition. So i think on that basis, and a lot of knowledge yes, it matters to us indians and everyone. Through quota systems. It makes us very proud if we can take our work around the world. Moments from the harbour having said that, is the charity bells place. The self sufficiency that you talk about, i dont want to be some of the poorest communities the harbinger of doom, in england live in ilfracombe and here volunteers provide hot but it wont be for long if we are not able to move meals for those who need it. With the times in terms of changing the cinema for Indian Community worker keith has voted audience in india also. Lib dem in the past. I think the Younger Generation has well, its always been access to a lot more around a liberal democrat area. And i think, honestly, the world and we need to somehow they are more in tune with normal people. Cater to the young ones of india more than the rest of the world. Hospital Charity Worker gloria bollywood had its metoo is worried about healthcare. Moment a year ago. Did you see it coming in any way at all . The local inpatient ward closed down five years ago and some people have its been a conversation to travel up to 100 miles everywhere in the world. At least in the cinematic world and media world, for certain treatments. It has made us a little more aware we need more nurses, more doctors, so that we can get a lot that now it may not happen so easily of our clinics back. A lot of our people or with such flippancy or with such a men dominated zone need those services. Of acceptance that it happens. A0 minutes away is davids farm near south molton. So i think that was a good thing, and i hope that sticks around. He backed remain, but hes do you think there has been really significant change as a result changed his mind on brexit of the Metoo Movement . Even though it could of course, ive not seen have an impact on his business. Anything like that. Whether we can export eggs post brexit. We wont know whether we can but i think awareness has happened export some of our milk. And it will make a big change, lamb exports might be difficult. Because people now are wary, but we have got to work people now are worried, and a little scared, through it and im sure that, that it should not be taken with determination, inaway. We would be able to do that. Nobody takes it for granted anymore, the lib dems made a comeback let me end it at that. In the local elections here earlier this year. People see you ultimately but whether they can turn the tide as a performer. Have you ever and achieve parliamentary success thought of directing at all . Will depend on whats on voters would that interest you . Minds this election. Jenny kumah, bbc news, ilfracombe. I would, but i would tell people if they are interested infilmmaking, ifind being a director, and an honest director, a very lonelyjob. I think it is the singular most lonelyjob anyone can do. And you can find a full list here you are, kind of playing god. Of candidates for the north devon constituency at bbc. Co. Uk election. You are making a film, you are telling the actors how to act, choosing the dialogue, making the script, selling it to the audience, editing it in dark rooms, dont know when to say ok or not but go with your gut, now on bbc news and when the film comes out you are all alone in the success talking movies with tom brooke. And failure of it. I think being a director is an extremely lonelyjob. If i become a director, it will get into a place where i will feel perhaps lonely and sad. Right now, ifeel alone and happy, but i may become lonely and sad. Great to see you. I would love to direct i didnt know it was such a big an action film. Thing, i thought i was just i want to grow up and be meeting you personally. Christopher nolan, but i dont know oh, really . Hello from mumbai. If i have the gumption. Im tom brook. For a special 20th Anniversary Edition of talking movies, you are an incredibly i came to india to interview top accomplished actor. Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. What do you want your legacy to be were here outside his home, in terms of what you pass where fans congregate at all hours of the day. On to Younger Generations . He is the king of bollywood, if i can pass on the culture followed by millions. Of immense hard work with a lot hes my hero. Of humour, and without trying i just simply love him. To feel that you worked hard. If you can wear your success, how big a legend is Shah Rukh Khan . As i always say, like a t shirt, oh, i cant explain this. Not like a tuxedo. Its beyond imagination. If you can be easy about the fact that you got the opportunities to do well but they came about only right now, ive got goosebumps. Because you worked hard, so nice to see you. And thats it. There is nothing more important i greeted him as he arrived to your work than that, at a special mumbai event to mark that you worked hard, the 20th anniversary enjoy yourself, gave a few good of talking movies. Laughs, and if it makes this 54 year old megastar seemed delighted to be there. You a star, so be it. I have to confess i am biased wear it on your sleeve, when it comes to Shah Rukh Khan like a t shirt. I am a fan myself, if it doesnt make you a star, and i have interviewed him at least you worked hard and enjoyed yourself. Several times before. All right, look, Shah Rukh Khan, thank you so much for doing this interview. It means a lot to me and talking movies. Visiting bollywood this time, thank you for being so he was the one i wanted to talk generous in your response. To about the changes taking place thank you for the coffee. In the indian Film Industry, and ask him where he is headed next with his career. Shah rukh khan to india is equal to what water is to india, what air is to india. Shah rukh khans first bollywood film was the action romance drama i have memorised each deewana in 1992. But he became known for playing of his dialogues, each of his songs. Antiheroes, villainous characters i probably could do each the first role of that ilk of the steps that he does in all of his movies. He is very honest, very humble, and a guy who teaches the value of hard work. Was in baazigar in 1993. He has given me the inspiration to do something in life, become someone. In many ways, its not just about acting, its yet it is for his work about the personality in a series of romantic films for which he is best known. Of that person. The way he can talk, born a muslim and married to a hindu, he has become a unifying the way he can make people want him, figure in india, at a time that is a very important part of him. When there are few. Youre very kind. And he has won 1a filmfare awards, thank you very much. The hindi Film Industrys equivalent of the oscars. 0ur invited audience, made up hello there. Of loyal Shah Rukh Khan fans, were eager to hear we have seen the rain sweeping in, the winds really picking up as well what he had to say. And, really, over the next few days, all right, now for the moment it is going to be quite a stormy everyone has been waiting for. We have a great guest spell of weather. Some heavy rain but it is of honour here tonight, the strength of the winds who i am going to interview. That is going to have the biggest impact. Lets have a big round of applause there are a number of met Office Warnings that you can see on our webpages. The main driver is this area of low pressure here, for Shah Rukh Khan thats forcing that weather front and that band of rain right the way across the country and then, behind that, well, were seeing cheering and applause. Skies clearing and well see you sit here. Thank you very much. Some showers returning, and the winds may be on behalf of talking movies, a very big welcome, especially on the occasion of our 20th touching 60 miles per hour, anniversary, it really means a lot to have you here and to be able to talk to you. Northern and western tell me, did you always scotland through the irish sea. Keeping the temperatures up on the mild side, want to be an actor . Come the end of the night. An really, for sunday, ok, so i, first i want to say thank its gonig to be a mixture you tom for having me here this an really, for sunday, its going to be a mixture evening, and ifully respect of sunshine and heavy showers. The wonderfulness of talking movies not too many showers perhaps for eastern parts of england, that youve created at the bbc, but i came here only to see you. More frequent in the west, and merging at times to give some honestly, i truly hold him longer spells of rain in Northern Ireland, western scotland singlehandedly responsible and the north west of england. Maybe a touch wintry for making indian movies, over the higher hills. And indian stars, men and women temperatures seven degrees, scotland, Northern Ireland. Still 13 perhaps in east anglia alike, extremely important and the south east of england. Tempered somewhat by the strength of that strong and gusty wind, really picking up in ireland. In the western world. And we are going to find storm atiya really strengthening those winds during the evening and overnight, so thank you for having me over, pushing them into wales and thank you for such and the south west, where here were looking at gusts of a wonderful hello. 70 miles an hour, possibly even when you ask about, did i always a touch more than that, want to be an actor . Together with some i dont know, its like i want squally bursts of rain. Moving into monday though, to know, did you always want to be things slowly calm down an anchor . From the west as this ridge did you want to always of High Pressure moves in. Interview movie stars and look after movies . For most of the day or did just happen, the strongest of the winds if i may ask you . Will be down those eastern coasts i had very peculiar interests of england and scotland. As a child, and the things i wanted together with a fair number to do were quite odd. Of showers first thing. Those become fewer. Most places become dry. Still going to be a windy day i wanted to be a telecommunications expert. But the wind will gradually lessen, i want to be an airline throughout the day. Well see our first spots of rain pilot and a psychotherapist. Perhaps arriving in Northern Ireland but i think it is best by the end of the afternoon. Out of that, temperatures only five, i ended up doing journalism six degrees in eastern for everyones s sake. Scotland, north east england. Same as me, i wanted to be an astronaut, an army officer, 12 celsius in the south west. A scientist and an economist. And itjust rolled into the so the winds easing slowly on monday amazingly intellectual actor that i have become. But then picking up again on monday night and into tuesday. Applause. The next area of low pressure you definitely made the right choice. Let me ask you a bit driving in quite a broad about your early career. Band of rain, actually. Was there one role that you felt really defined you as an actor early this is going to be quite heavy. We are all going to get some soaking on, and gave you recognition . Rain on tuesday and those winds will be particularly squally on that second band of rain. When you start off, one of the main roles, still on the mild side. At least during my time, perhaps temperatures in most parts it was to play a madman, of the country remaining play a guy who is a little crazy, in double figures. And you always think as an actor, but behind that band of rain, theres a surge of colder air, that is the thing im going to do. You all want to bejoker coming down across the uk, with some showers around from batman, you want to be the middle part of the week, Jack Nicholson from the shining, but theres more wet and windy yeah, you want to be mr prem chopra, and mild weather waiting to come 00 09 02,260 4294966103 13 29,430 in from the atlantic later on. From a lot of the films, or gabbar singh at least. So there were these moments that you had. I was told that when i entered the Film Industry and met people here, i wont name the wonderful director, right down the road, but he called me once and made me sit down, and said very honestly, and i love him for that, i worked with him later and respect him o lot, he is a good friend even now, despite what he told me then he looked at me and said, the greatest asset you have as an actor is that you are ugly, and i can put you in any role. Thats not true. He didnt know better at the time, but there is no accounting for taste he looked at me and said, you are so different looking, i guess thats what he meant, it came out a little wrong, he said, i can put you in any role, and that is the greatest asset you have. I did not think of myself as someone who could be a typical hindi movie star, so i somehow got in tune with, you know, i should play some bad guys, maybe then i will accepted. And because i was from theatre, to me, the difference between the protagonists is really, you are playing one of the main parts, so to say, and i lived by this belief, there are no small roles, only small actors. And genuinely so because of theatre, i did not want to be the hero, i didnt want to romance a girl, i didnt want to be doing the typical films. In terms of inspiration, were there particular actors that really made an impact on you when you were an up and coming actor yourself . Lots of them. Growing up i loved Peter Sellers, i lied michaelj fox a lot, and i think my acting is hugely. I was acting with the british theatre teacher, barryjohn, so i was hugely impacted by Peter Sellers and british actors, now gary 0ldman and everyone. From india i think mr rishi kapoor, mr amitabh bachchan, obviously. Its like, you know, mr bachchan is like a birthmark for actors. You have to have it, otherwise you can never really become an actor. I always learn what not to do, or what to do from those actors. I love actors, so these three or four people essentially, yes. You have been more than successful with your career, but in recent times, a couple of your films have not done so well. Why do you think that is . Is it to do with changes in the industry, or what are your thoughts about that, really . I have been doing this business for so long, and people get a little disturbed because you make all films with a lot of effort and happiness and goodness, but effort, goodness and happiness does not a good film make. You have to tell a good story. So with due respect to all the other people involved in the films that have not done well, i think we just made bad films, it is as simple as that. Because in india, everyone knows how to play cricket, and how to make movies, so. Laughter and applause. Everybody. So they meet you, so they tell sachin how to do a forward defensive stroke, and they tell me how to tell a story. But i really believe there is no one reason for a movie going wrong, except the fact that i truly believe i told the story badly. It is the only reason these films are a flop. And i have always said this, it is not with humility, its with honesty i am the employee of the audience, and if i cannot make my boss happy, i will be fired from the job. So a couple of times in the last two years, i have been fired from the job. They want to give me a chance again . I think so. I will come back and i will get my boss on my side. Definitely. As an actor, do you think as you get older, you are being offered or doing more interesting roles than when you were younger . Or are the roles getting less interesting . I would like to absolutely set the record straight for talking movies and bbc i am not old. Laughter. Dont do, what is called, fake reporting. 0k. I apologise. Its all right. Just be guarded next time. 0k. The second part is, no, i dont think so. I am very fortunate that when i started off, because of being unconventional, like, say, in yourtrade, wanting to do really different things, i think i did not get, or i dont get typecast for too long. Sometimes, i make the choices according to what i personally feel like doing, like a comedy and i will do it. Sometimes, like now i am really wanting to do a kickass action film. A good action film. You have done thos
