Shahrukh Khan Acting style and analysis
Khan
is often considered as an instinctive and spontaneous actor. Aziz Mirza
described Khan as a "natural" explaining that he had "a rawness
in him" and "a crowd appeal, even when he was just with
friends." He is also known to committing heavily to each role and doing
monumental research for his characters. Commenting on this, director Karan
Johar said: "He has no limit and no limitation. He can give a role much
more than what you can dream of. He can do anything and be anyone. Also, what
really makes him stand apart is the fact that he goes by the tonality of the
character. He is somebody who has no boundaries."
During
the span of his career, Khan has played an array, of roles from various film
genres; romantic dramas, comedies, action thrillers, horrors, sport films,
period films and Sci-fi superhero films.Following the success of Baazigar
(1993) and Darr (1993), Khan's film roles were subject to wide critical
analysis. His performance in the early stages of his career has often been
described as "spontaneous", "energetic",
"intense" and " honest".The Daily News and Analysis
wrote:"[and] then he came, sliding down stairs on a slab of ice,
cartwheeling, somersaulting, lips trembling, eyes trembling, bringing to the
screen the kind of physical energy not seen since Shammi Kapoor in his heydays.
This was a totally different kind of acting from we had ever seen – visceral,
intense, maniacal one moment and cloyingly boyish the next." He was also
praised for being a risk taker by "pushing the envelope" playing
characters that were considered taboo at the time.Khan was credited for
changing the image of the typical conventional Indian hero; being one of the pioneers
of returning the romantic boyish character to the Indian screen. Harish Dugh
from The Indian Express noted: "The die was cast when [King] Khan
replaced the Bachchan bravado with the portrayal of a very humane and likeable,
simple and feeling young man." and added: "Welcome to a new-look
Bollywood. Today, it stands virtually transformed by SRK single-handedly into
an entity that caters to people's desire to see their superstar reflect their
own weaknesses, pain and anguish."

Philanthropy
Khan is known for keeping a low profile and secrecy on his
social commitments and Humanitarian work. In an interview with The Guardian
he stated that his reason for keeping his charity work guarded was because of
his religious beliefs. He said: "Somewhere in the Quran it says that if
you do charity for a reason, it's not charity." He further expressed his
ideology regarding charity work in an interview with CNN-IBN, stating:"I
don’t like talking about it [charity]. A lot of people and my friends always
tell me I should do photographs and stuff when I meet some people. But I don’t
believe in it. It is a true thing that if I believe in a cause, I should do it
silently and not use my persona as an actor to advocate that."

of AIDS and cancer patients, he is behind the creation of a children's ward at
the Nanavati hospital in Mumbai, in memory of his late mother. Khan is also

Anubhav Sinha's science fiction superhero film Ra.One, alongside Arjun
Rampal and Kareena Kapoor. The film, which follows the story of a London-based

involved in several aspects of the making of Ra. One—he volunteered to
write the film's console game script, dubbed for it, and oversaw its technical
development; he also authored the digital comics based on the film's
characters.
Upon release, Ra.One emerged as a box office success, with a
gross of 2.4 billion.and received mixed to
negative reviews. For his portrayal of a dual role in the film, Khan received
mixed comments; while most critics praised his performance as the robotic
superhero G.one, they panned the one of Shekhar, the videogame designer. Rajeev
Masand wrote: "The only real standout performance is by Shah Rukh Khan.
His Aiyyo-speaking Shekhar Subramaniam is caricaturish but charming, while as
G.One, he gives even his robotic video-game character a charismatic edge."
and DNA India added: "Khan is in his element and endearing as
superhero G.One, but annoyingly over the top as video game creator
Shekhar".
