Bollywood actor Tahir Raj Bhasin made a deadly villain look good on screen in his debut film Mardaani starring Rani Mukerji. The actor needs to thank his stars that he didn’t get type cast thereafter and is working in a wide range of roles. While his recently released sports drama 83 fetched him praises, his upcoming projects too are going to be worth the wait. The Chhichhore actor confessed that he is a huge SRK fan and has been an inspiration in his acting journey. 

Speaking of the Raees star Tahir said, “I think every young actor in India aspires to get the love and fan following that someone like Shah Rukh Khan commands. SRK is not only a megastar he is an emotion. For me, Shah Rukh Khan sir was always inspirational and his journey has always been a source of strength. I came to Mumbai from New Delhi, just like him. He was a total outsider with absolutely no godfathers and it’s no secret that I didn’t know a single soul in Bollywood when I came to the city.”

Incidentally, Tahir is seen in a web series which is named after SRK’s song (Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein) from his blockbuster film Baazigar. He adds, “I’m playing a romantic lead in Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein and it’s such an amazing coincidence that the title of the show is based on one of his biggest chartbusters from Baazigar. I couldn’t believe my ears when I heard the name of the show. For someone who really respects and idolises SRK, this is too good to be true!” Bhasin will next be seen opposite Taapsee Pannu in the Hindi remake of Run Lola Run titled Looop Lapeta. Its recently released trailer has been the talk of the town. It will release on Netflix in February.
