Raj Kanwar's hit film 'Deewana', where he played the second male lead behind Rishi Kapoor, and acted alongside Divya Bharti, marked SRK's Bollywood debut in 1992.

"I write a whole backstory and ideology of the character," he said. "Sometimes, I share it with the director or just keep it to myself. It could be a poem or a whole story."

Asked about what he would like to change about his opening scene in 'Deewana', where he arrives singing on a motorbike followed by a bunch of other bikers, he said he should have worn a helmet.
