Actor Shah Rukh Khan with his killer makeover and the raunchy masculine look might have inspired the B-town to hop on the six pack abs brigade but looks ike the change in his image hasn’t gone down so well with King Khan’s loyalist director Aziz Mirza who feels that SRK looks too old to play the lead in his movies anymore.After delivering Box Office blockbusters like Raju Ban Gaya Gentlemen, Yes Boss, Chalte Chalte, Phir Bhi Dil Hai Hindustani starring SRK, the ace director has now switched loyalties by opting out for younger actors like Shahid Kapur, as he returns to tinsel town after a long hiatus with his much talked about flick ‘Kismat Konnection’. Speaking to a news daily Mirza said, “Shah Rukh is too old for the role in Kismat Konnection . The role is about the life of a 26-year-old and Shah Rukh is 40 plus. It doesn’t suit him”.

Even though Mirza might have replaced SRK with Shahid he still aims to stick by another favorite of his, actress Juhi Chawla. The film will see the graceful actress in a short supporting role which according to reports Mirza has been very impressed with. Well, we wonder then what is the ‘Nareal award’ winner for the worst dressed celebrity Vidya Balan doing in this youthful flick as the actress has been said to be a little to matured to be sharing screen space with cutie, Shahid.

However, Mirza does not share this otherwise popular opinion as the director states that the two look good together and share fabulous screen chemistry. He goes on to justify that the pair was cast keeping the ‘sensibilities’ of role in mind. So can we say that Shahid is the new SRK. Well at least for Mirza he is.
