Acclaimed filmmaker Mahesh Manjrekar has stirred excitement among fans by expressing his desire to see Shah Rukh Khan in a never-before-seen avatar—a paid assassin. The director, known for his gritty storytelling, stated that he considers SRK to be a very underrated actor, despite his massive stardom.

Manjrekar emphasized that Khan's acting prowess often gets overshadowed by his superstar persona, but he believes the actor has the depth to pull off darker, intense roles. The idea of SRK as a cold-blooded contract killer has left fans intrigued, especially after his action-packed performances in Pathaan and Jawan.

This statement has sparked speculation—could a collaboration between Manjrekar and SRK be on the horizon? With Bollywood embracing edgier narratives, fans are eager to see if King Khan will step into the shoes of a ruthless assassin, breaking away from his romantic hero legacy once again.
