In his trademark witty style, Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan has entertained guests at World Governments Summit 2024, where he joked about playing “the baddie” in a James Bond film.

Shah Rukh was one of the speakers at the summit in Dubai on Wednesday. Apart from speaking about his rise to fame at the 11th edition of World Governments Summit (WGS) at Madinat Jumeirah, the actor talked about how he would have loved to play the iconic British secret agent, James Bond, but cannot.

Everyone from Daniel Craig to Pierce Brosnan has played the fictional spy in the Bond film series.
