Shah Rukh Khan said the proud moment for him would be when somebody would remake his original films.

“I did two iconic films — one is Dilip Kumar’s ‘Devdas’ and the other one is Amitabh Bachchan’s ‘Don’. I never chose my films. Films and directors chose me. Sanjay Leela Bhansali told me ‘there is something in your eyes’ and then he asked me to do ‘Devdas’.

Shah Rukh Khan told reporters during the launch of Filmfare’s 100 Years of Cinema issue here Wednesday.

“Hopefully, a time will come when somebody will remake one of my original films and that will be a great achievement and proud moment for me,” he added.
