Shahrukh really stays pretty basic in his professions. There’s engineer, Businessman, criminal….and that’s it. I guess also sometimes teacher and private detective and actor. Still, a whole WORLD of jobs out there for him!
Lawyer
Never played a lawyer! Really feels like he would have, but nope! I’d love to see him as either a sleazy attorney who turns good with that one case he cares about, or a crusading attorney who takes on a big case.
Construction Worker
I’m picturing the American fantasy version of this. Guy who works with his hands and can DO things, shows up to help out struggling single mother, they fall in love, etc.
Chef
I know he can’t cook, but I’d love to see him play the sort of tyrant genius chef in a fancy restaurant kind of thing. Terrifying to all the staff, but a sweetheart on the inside.
Doctor
I know he was a Psychiatrist in Dear Zindagi, but I want to see him play more of the heroic doctor type. Saving lives and things. Maybe falling in love with a co-worker.
Professor
He’s played a teacher (Chaahat), but never a professor. Like, the intellectual research focused type of professor. I want to see him try that.
Barista
Shahrukh as the wise man who runs the coffee shop for the kids! It’s perfect
Veteranarian
Picture taking your dog in for a check up and it’s SHAHRUKH! He could be the irascible type who likes animals better than humans and has a million pets and no friends.
Fashion Designer
This would be a bit of an inside joke since SRK is not that into clothes/fashion, but I think it could be fun. He’s the fashion designer who doesn’t care how he looks himself, no one thinks he is the mysterious reclusive genius. Oooo! Maybe he hires a glamorous woman to act as a front for his designs? Sush-SRK romances possibly?
Honest Politician
This is the part of Raees we didn’t get to see! He got elected, and then the movie ended. I want more! I want to see him picking on issues and pushing for changes and having open office hours and stuff.
Train Conductor
I just think this would be fun! Especially if it’s an over the top Rohit Shetty style action film. Shahrukh, the Hero Train Conductor.
Accountant
He’s been “businessman” a million times, but he’s usually the Boss. I want to see him as the humble accountant to a multinational company. Oooo, maybe he is accountant/whistleblower?
Farmer
I don’t think he’s ever played a farmer! It would be very outside his persona, but that could be fun, very Green Acres sort of thing. City man randomly inherits farm, hates it, then comes to love it.
Monster Hunter
It’s October! Of course I’m thinking of Monsters. And SRK would be a great “stranger who comes to town on the trail of the Great Beast” kind of thing.
Homemaker
Wife works, he stays home and takes care of the house and the kids. I would love to see this plot. Maybe something like, they lived overseas for the past 3 years and this was their arrangement, but now they are back in India and they have to keep explaining their lives to people.
Novelist
He’d be great at playing this, wouldn’t he? You can actually believe SRK as brilliant difficult artist type, because he IS a brilliant difficult artist type.
Servant
He came close in Yes Boss, but I don’t think he’s ever played a straight up Servant type. I’d love to see him as the loyal longtime houseman to a family. Ideally, with a slow burning romance with the daughter of the household even though it is Forbidden.
