The future of James Bond remains uncertain after Daniel Craig's departure in No Time to Die. Speculation has been rife about potential successors, with names like Aaron Taylor-Johnson and Callum Turner being floated. However, one name that has been ruled out is Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan. In a recent conversation with BBC News India, Shah Rukh Khan addressed the rumors about him taking on the iconic role. When asked if he would consider playing James Bond, Khan replied, "I don't have the accent, and I don't enjoy martinis – shaken or otherwise." He also confessed that he hasn't done many action films, citing his rom-com history with wife Kajol as a major reason. Khan's playful banter with Kajol aside, it's clear that he's not in the running for the role. While he expressed admiration for Sean Connery's portrayal of Bond, he's more focused on his upcoming projects. His last theatrical release was Dunki, and he's won critical acclaim for his performances in Jawan and the upcoming King, which will star his daughter Suhana Khan. For now, the search for the next James Bond continues, with Denis Villeneuve set to direct the next installment. Despite the rumors, it's clear that Shah Rukh Khan is not the man for the job.
