Ahead of its special, Netflix has dropped another trailer for David Letterman’s show where Shah Rukh Khan will be the special guest gracing Letterman’s couch. Filled with tongue-in-cheek humour and interesting anecdotes from SRK’s personal life, the trailer gives us a glimpse of what we can expect once the episode starts streaming on 25 October.

In the trailer, we get glimpses of SRK’s domestic life. From cooking pasta for AbRam in the middle of the night to sitting down for a meal with his wife Gauri Khan and Letterman, SRK is candid and open.
The trailer begins with a classic dose of SRK’s wit and humour. He says, “This show is called My Next Guest Needs No Introduction. And then they kept asking me, ‘How do you want Dave to introduce you?’
When Letterman asks SRK if he enjoys being a star, SRK responds with:
“Lot of things I’ve realised I can’t be so I became an actor.”Shah Rukh Khan
The stand-alone interview will launch exclusively on the streaming platform on 25 October, 2019 across 190 countries. Earlier, Netflix released a promo for the show along with the announcement on Wednesday 9 October.

Ahead of the conversation, SRK had shared his excitement on working with Letterman and Netflix.
“I’ve watched David Letterman’s late-night talk show for years and I’m a huge fan of his style of interviewing. I’m thrilled, and honoured to share my story with him. That this is on Netflix is even more special – I’m working with the team on various projects and it’s always been exciting partnering with them.”Shah RukhKhan
Here’s what Letterman had to say about it:
“The best part of this job that Netflix has been happy to provide for me is to meet people. And after each one of these sessions I think to myself, it is a very smart, very lovely person from whom I have learned things. You would maybe be at the top of that list.”David Letterman
In June, on the occasion of Eid, Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan made an appearance on the terrace of Mannat, his house in Mumbai, and waved at his fans. However, this time the actor wasn’t alone. He was joined by his son AbRam as well as American talk show host David Letterman.
