SRK to remake “Breaking Bad”

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has revealed in an interview that he has been wanting to bring American TV show “Breaking Bad' to the Indian audiences.

SRK told The Indian Express that he has indeed been considering bringing the massive TV hit to India, not in a TV series format but as a film. “I want to make it into a movie. As a series, it is too evolved to come on Indian television. The Indian audience won't be accepting of meth, drugs and the mafia,” the English daily quoted him as saying.

He further said that it is “the story of a man who is going to die and takes a chance to save his family that is a good premise for a feature film”. “I have asked some people who have said that they would get me the rights. I am at that age when it will be interesting to take up such a role,” he added.

“Breaking Bad” began airing on AMC in 2008 and ran for five brilliant seasons. It starred Bryan Cranston in the leading role of a chemistry teacher who gets diagnosed with cancer and to be able to leave his family with enough money to live well after him, he decides to cook and sell meth in his city. Of course, things often go out of hand and he has to deal with one adversary after another and also with his own unsatiable greed.

When asked who will play Walter White, the protagonist, SRK replied without even a sliver of humility “Great films don't work without me, darling!”
