One of these fans if you had not known was the ‘Dilwale’ star ever since his encounter with the show in 2013. Back in the day, the actor also shared a related tweet on his handle.

Khan grew so fond of the story that he also wanted to make a desi film version of it and even got his sources working to get the rights.
In an earlier interview, Khan revealed, “I want to make it [Breaking Bad] into a movie.”
He went on to confess that for a series, the show is ‘too evolved’ for Indian television. Khan stated, “The Indian audience won’t be accepting of meth, drugs, and the mafia. But the story of a man who is going to die and take a chance to save his family is a good premise for a feature film.”
“I have asked some people who have said that they would get me the rights. I am at that age when it will be interesting to take up such a role.”
Moreover, when asked who he would like to play the lead character of Walter White, Khan quipped, “Great films don’t work without me, darling!”
