Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald reveals interest in documentaries on Shah Rukh Khan and PM Modi, while discussing his upcoming projects.
Oscar-winning filmmaker Kevin Macdonald has opened up about his interest in making documentaries on two of India’s most prominent personalities—actor Shah Rukh Khan and Prime Minister Narendra Modi. While neither project has been officially confirmed, the filmmaker has revealed that both personalities have caught his attention.
In an interview with ETimes, Macdonald recalled having discussions with Shah Rukh Khan about a possible documentary a few years ago. He said the idea did not move forward because the timing was not suitable. However, the filmmaker continues to be fascinated by the actor’s enormous popularity and his unique connection with audiences.
Kevin Macdonald Discusses Shah Rukh Khan Documentary
Macdonald revealed that he met Shah Rukh Khan a couple of years ago to explore the possibility of making a documentary about the superstar. Although the two discussed the project, it ultimately did not progress.
The filmmaker remains intrigued by Khan’s extraordinary stature in Indian popular culture. Rather than focusing only on the actor’s professional journey, Macdonald appears interested in exploring the reasons behind his immense fan following and understanding what has made him such a celebrated global star.
The potential Kevin Macdonald Shah Rukh Khan documentary remains unconfirmed, but his comments indicate that his interest in the project has not completely disappeared.

Kevin Macdonald Expresses Interest in PM Modi Documentary
Shah Rukh Khan is not the only Indian personality who has attracted Macdonald’s attention. During the conversation, the filmmaker was also asked about other people he would like to document.
Macdonald said he would “love to make a film about” Prime Minister Narendra Modi. His interest appears to centre on exploring the person behind one of India’s most recognisable political figures.
At the same time, Macdonald acknowledged that getting Modi to participate in such a project could be challenging. He expressed doubt that the Prime Minister would agree to take part, leaving the possibility of a Kevin Macdonald PM Modi documentary uncertain.
Why Shah Rukh Khan Fascinates Kevin Macdonald
For Macdonald, the attraction of a potential Shah Rukh Khan documentary goes beyond Bollywood stardom. The filmmaker appears particularly interested in examining why Khan has developed such a strong emotional connection with millions of people.
Khan’s decades-long career, international recognition and extraordinary popularity make him a potentially compelling subject for a documentary filmmaker. However, there is currently no confirmation that the earlier discussions will lead to an actual film.
From Pep Guardiola to Narrative Cinema
Macdonald is currently associated with A Beautiful Obsession, a four-part documentary series focusing on Manchester City manager Pep Guardiola. The project follows Guardiola across his final two seasons at the club, beginning after Manchester City’s historic fourth consecutive Premier League title in 2024.
The filmmaker is also returning to narrative filmmaking with The Runner, featuring Gal Gadot. His work across documentaries and feature films has allowed him to explore a wide range of personalities and stories.
No Documentary on Modi or Shah Rukh Khan Confirmed Yet
Despite Macdonald’s comments, neither a Shah Rukh Khan documentary nor a PM Modi documentary has been officially announced. The filmmaker’s remarks only confirm his personal interest in exploring these subjects.
For now, fans will have to wait and see whether the Kevin Macdonald Shah Rukh Khan documentary idea returns or whether his interest in making a film about PM Modi eventually develops into a formal project. His latest comments, however, have already sparked curiosity about what either documentary could explore.
