Now this is something that will make Shah Rukh Khan haters and Breaking Bad lovers want to jump off a cliff. The Bollywood superstar has revealed in an interview that he has been wanting to bring the American TV show to the Indian audiences.

SRK told The Indian Express that he has indeed been considering bringing Breaking Bad to India, not in a TV series format but as a film. “I want to make it into a movie. As a series, it is too evolved to come on Indian television. The Indian audience won’t be accepting of meth, drugs and the mafia,” the English daily quoted him as saying.

Well the Indian audience has been mighty accepting of your dancing around trees and exploding cars, we think we can handle some meth and mafia too.

He further said that it is ‘the story of a man who is going to die and takes a chance to save his family that is a good premise for a feature film’. “I have asked some people who have said that they would get me the rights. I am at that age when it will be interesting to take up such a role,” he added.

Breaking Bad began airing on AMC in 2008 and ran for five brilliant seasons. It starred Bryan Cranston in the leading role of a chemistry teacher who gets diagnosed with cancer and to be able to leave his family with enough money to live well after him, he decids to cook and sell meth in his city. Of course, things often go out of hand and he has to deal with one adversary after another and also with his own unsatiable greed.

When asked who will play Walter White, the protagonist, SRK replied without even a sliver of humility “Great films don’t work without me, darling!”

*Sigh*

Oh God no... !!!! Please .. You can't act for shit man.. Well you can but only sporadically.. It's almost always overacting.
Let it go..

 

[Hello It's me]

Oh dear God...Have mercy on us...

 

[jamahir]

shahrukh is a sensible man so he shouldn't take up any projects that remotely validate crimes like drugs manufacture and consumption.

I like the idea if Amir Khan was doing it. SRK will somehow make it look like another DDLJ.

It's simply about acting. I treasure his older movies like Kuch Kuch hota hain.. But don't do this..
Aamir after mangal pandey has become obnoxious.. Holier than thou attitude that happens to people when they consider themselves to be too great.

It's a good actor who needs to do it. Someone doesn't take away from the character by means of his star sheen and lets the story be the most important thing. Kay Kay Menon or Nawazuddin or Manoj Bajpai.. They could've done justice..

If they do it right, it could be very interesting.

Shahrukh and Salman always look after the commercial aspect before artistic. Amir I feel is different, he cares about the script and tries to do justice to it. He wouldn't make it too bollywood. That's why I think he could be the man. Or even better, let Naseruddin Shah play Walt, it'll be epic.

An Indian breaking bad will be wonderful. But Indians mostly prefer ganja.

It would be worth watching if it has amitabh bachchan
