Indian actor Shah Rukh Khan plans to upgrade special effects in his production house

Bollywood leading man Shah Rukh Khan is taking a three-month break from filming to improve the special effects unit in his production company.

A report in the Mumbai Mirror newspaper Friday quoted Khan as saying he wants his studio's special effects to be comparable with the world's best.

"I want to work on a project that is very precious to me," he said in the report. "I want our production company to become truly FX-savvy. I want to spend the next three months honing up the FX in our production house."

The term "FX" is often used as shorthand for special effects.

Khan, 41, is India's biggest star and has acted in more than 50 movies. His blockbusters include "Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham" ("Sometimes Happiness, Sometimes Sorrow"), "Kabhi Haan, Kabhi Na" ("Sometimes Yes, Sometimes No") and Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna ("Never Say Goodbye").

He set up a production company called Dreamz Unlimited seven years ago, and has produced six films. He produced and starred in "Paheli," or "Riddle," a Hindi-language film which was India's entry for the Oscar in the foreign film category two years ago.

"This is where my heart is at the moment," the report quoted Khan as saying. "I want our FX to be comparable with the best in the world.
