Shah Rukh: I think I can do action better than romance

Shah Rukh Khan seemed very happy at the trailer launch of his new film Chennai Express at IMAX, Wadala, in central Mumbai.

He claimed it was a 'special moment' for the entire team, and raved about his director Rohit Shetty and co-star Deepika Padukone.

"Rohit is a fantastic director," Shah Rukh said. "His work speaks volumes. I had done a lot of intense roles and really wanted to do an action comedy. Chennai Express was the perfect film to do."

Rohit has often been criticised for the over-the-top action sequences in his movies. Defending the director, SRK said, "I used to think the same. But after working with him, I think I can do action better than romance. He has a fantastic team of almost 200 people, who have worked really hard."

The action, however, came at a price. Shah Rukh injured himself while doing a stunt, and had to undergo a shoulder surgery last month. At the trailer launch, the actor wore a fashionable sling for his injured arm.
