When a security guard stopped Shah Rukh Khan from entering his film’s muhurat saying “I have seen so many who claim to be superstars”

Shah Rukh Khan is probably the most recognisable Indian in the world, but the Pathaan actor has been in some humbling situations. In an old interview with Simi Garewal, Shah Rukh recalled an irony in which a security guard did not recognise him and thus refused to let him into the muhurat of his own film. The incident occurred during the premiere of a film called ‘Shikhar’, which was later cancelled.

Shah Rukh revealed that he was in Delhi for the film's muhurat when he was stopped from entering the venue by a man. He said that a security guy stopped him from entering into his own muhurat. He said it is a little strange. He further said to him that he is the hero of the movie. To which the security guard replied, “I have seen so many who claim to be superstars”.

Shah Rukh kept repeating that he is the film's hero and recalled saying, The guard stood his ground and said that Ila Arun had already gone in but would not let Shah Rukh in.


Finally, another member of the film's crew was summoned and informed the guard that Shah Rukh was indeed the lead hero, to which the guard replied, “He lacks personality. What makes him a hero?”

‘Shikhar’ was announced alongside Shah Rukh Khan and Jackie Shroff but was later dropped. Subhash Ghai was supposed to direct the film, but after it was cancelled due to budgetary constraints, he directed ‘Pardes’ with Shah Rukh Khan.
