When the man who immortalised Wolverine for the silver screen, Hugh Jackman, spoke about his successor for the superhero role; everyone was all ears. The Hollywood star in conversation to a leading film journalist Rajeev Masand said Shah Rukh Khan could play the role. This was enough for all the fans of the Bollywood superstar to say ‘Bring it on’ or ‘Let’s make this possible’.
And as it turns out, Shah Rukh himself too isn’t against the possibility. On his Twitter page, the King Khan wrote he is prepping for the role and that he needs to grow hair on chest. See? He is all game to play the clawed superhero.
Now, anyone who is a Shah Rukh Khan fan would know the superstar has a penchant for games and comic books. So, obviously, he had to fall in love with this idea sooner or later.
