Actor Shah Rukh Khan is a relieved man these days. With his superhero film released and debated around, he now looks ahead, to another film, another dream on his birthday. After promoting his recent release for a whole year, he admits that he cannot afford a huge break as filmmaker-actor Farhan Akhtar’s Don 2 is set to release on Christmas.

“My films are like my babies. They are the most beautiful things on earth. They are mine and I am extremely possessive about them. It doesn’t matter if they are successful or not, they’re my babies at the end of the day. I will always stand by them. So if you ask me if I was bothered about them faring well at the box office, then I will tell you ‘No.’ Do you worry if your son or daughter cannot make it big at the end of their career? Yes, you are, but at the same time, you know that it doesn’t matter. You are there for them, no matter what. The (Ra.One) film was exactly that for me,” says the actor-film producer, refuting rumours that he was bothered about the film’s fate.

Shah Rukh admits that over the past six months he had been like a salesman, peddling his film to his audience. “I had made a very expensive film. It is the most expensive film in the country and I spent my heart, soul and hard-earned money on it. So, I have to sell it and I better be very good at it. I don’t want to be just good at it, but I want to be the best. I don’t understand marketing tactics, so I went out everywhere, grabbing every little opportunity to tell the people about my film. I couldn’t plan, so I didn’t plan. It was like, ‘take it all and don’t differentiate’. Everybody knew that my film was releasing and yes, now it seems that everybody has come and seen it too,” he adds.

Shah Rukh says that the film has  left him exhausted, but he doesn’t have too much time to sit back and enjoy his spoils. “I want to chill out with my friends for a while (not more than a week). I am not planning any birthday party. That is something I would like to leave to my friends and my wife. They are more happy that my film has scored. And me? I am happy for them,” says superstar Khan.
