Just Like Shah Rukh Khan, Tahir Raj Bhasin Hopes To Redefine Bollywood
Tahir Raj Bhasin shared that he aspires to bring a similar blend of charm and disruption to today's cinema like Shah Rukh Khan who redefined stardom in the 1990s. Tahir Raj Bhasin is gaining a lot of recognition for his role as an antagonist in Special Ops 2.0. In his latest interview, Tahir opened up about how he manifests his career to turn out. He shared that he aspires to bring a similar blend of charm and disruption to today's cinema like Shah Rukh Khan who redefined stardom in the 1990s. Tahir discussed the dynamic environment of Indian cinema and the influences that continue to shape his journey. In conversation with Hindustan Times, Tahir Raj Bhasin said, '90s SRK was disruptive. It was the villain in Baazigar and the charmer that we saw in DDLJ. SRK today is an icon, but what he was doing in the 90s, were all the kind of heroes like Kabhi Haan Kabhi Na, who were flawed and had an element of charm to them. And so comes the idea to me that I would lend my skill to stories that are disruptive and drive them as entertainingly as possible." Moving on, Tahir described Bollywood as a 'living organism" while reflecting on the current state of the Hindi film business, particularly in relation to the thriving South film Industry. He mentioned that Bollywood evolves and has to change and adapt to the audience. On the professional front, Tahir has wrapped a mystery thriller for Netflix with Parineeti Chopra, directed by Renzil D'Silva and produced by Siddharth P. Malhotra. Though the actor did not divulge much about the role, he noted that it is a new genre for him. Tahir played the role of Collector, the antagonist in Neeraj Pandey's Special Ops 2, alongside Kay Kay Menon. Special Ops 2 follows Himmat Singh and his team of secret spies. This time, they're fighting an AI threat rather than terrorists. Tahir's character kidnaps India's renowned scientist, who has access to all key sites and knowledge about the country. The Collector's motive for the kidnapping was to gain control of India. First Published: July 28, 2025, 12:41 IST Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
