SRK: I am waiting for the Don 2 shoot to get over

Even superstars have bad hair days.

When Shah Rukh Khan launched a documentary on K Asif's classic Mughal-e-Azam, he was obviously facing a hair crisis, thanks to his new Don 2 look.

"I respect women," Shah Rukh said. "I am suffering since the time I put on these (hair) extensions. Now I understand how tough it is for a woman to manage her hair. I respect them even more. I am waiting for the Don 2 shoot to get over to get rid of my messy look."

He also joked that she wanted to give him a bath. "The other day Suhana told me I looked very bad and desperately needed a bath! She was ready to give me one," he said.

The documentary on Mughal-e-Azam has been produced by Shah Rukh's Red Chillies Entertainment banner. The actor claimed that it was a small step to preserve the history of Indian cinema, and not to make money.

Shah Rukh also revealed that he had an emotional attachment to the film, as his father had worked in the film for a day. "My father was selected for a Pathan's role. He performed so badly that K Asif replaced him on Day One itself. When I was small, my father would joke saying that K Asif told him to go back home and give birth to an actor," Shah Rukh laughed.

Shah Rukh plays a sutradhar in the documentary, which also features celebrities like Amitabh Bachchan, Aamir Khan, Ranbir Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor, Hrithik Roshan and Deepika Padukone.

There is a special section by M F Husain, who made the film his muse and tried to bring it alive on canvas.

"Mughal-e-Azam is the mother of all films," SRK concluded.
