Actor Tahir Raj Bhasin has shared that his character in the web series Yeh Kaali Kaali Ankhein (YKKA) draws significant inspiration from Shah Rukh Khan’s portrayal of anti-heroes in films like Baazigar and Darr.

Tahir, an ardent admirer of Shah Rukh Khan, reflected on the influence of SRK’s career, describing it as a testament to the power of sheer talent and perseverance. He reportedly expressed that SRK’s journey from an outsider to one of India’s biggest stars had been a motivating force in his own career. The complex, brooding anti-heroes SRK portrayed in the 90s, he noted, reshaped the audience's perception of cinematic protagonists.

The actor revealed that his character, Vikrant, serves as a homage to the bold and morally ambiguous heroes of that era. According to Tahir, Vikrant embodies the intensity, passion, and defiance that were hallmarks of SRK’s iconic roles. He pointed out how such characters blurred the line between right and wrong, leaving audiences questioning, empathizing, and even rooting for the darker side.
