Shah Rukh Khan is one of the few legends who could play a romantic hero and switch to a deadly villian in the spit of a second. It is probably why the actor is called King Khan of Bollywood.
Over the years, SRK has experimented with his roles. The actor is loved by his fans for the very same reason - because he is not scared of trying something new and almost always aces the role.
Here are a few films where the 'King Of Romance' chose to look the other way and yet, won over his fans...

Baazigar
The first time Shah Rukh Khan broke character, he gave the world memorable characters like Rahul Mehra from Darr and Ajay Sharma in Baazigar.
While in Darr, he played an obsessed lover to Kkkiran, the actor showed his grey shade in Baazigar, almost making it seem like he had a dual personality.
Darr was the story of Kiran (Juhi Chawla) planning a wedding with Sunil Malhotra (Sunny Deol), unaware about her obsessed lover, Mehra.
Meanwhile, Baazigar was the story of Sharma seeking revenge from a business tycoon Madan Chopra (Dalip Tahil). He gets closer to his daughters Priya (Kajol) and Seema (Shilpa Shetty Kundra) for the same reason.
Both the films can be streamed on Amazon Prime Video.
