Shah Rukh Khan will also complete 25 years of his career in the industry this year. The 51-year-old actor made his debut with 1992's Deewana, which fetched him the Filmfare Award for Best Male Debut. Shah Rukh, however, delivered blockbuster performances as antagonists in films like Baazigar, Anjaam and Darr. Talking about his early career choices, Shah Rukh shared a 'secret' with NDTV on Spotlight. He said: "The reasons I agreed to do roles which the other guys were saying no to (for whatever their mindset was), a Darr or a Baazigar, was because I thought I'm not good-looking enough to be a hero, so let me just get a villain's job. I didn't do it because I was gutsy or because I knew I could pull it off, I'm such a great actor."
Raees hits screens on January 25, when it will clash with Hrithik Roshan's Kaabil.
