"Romance has to have a little formality. Whether it's 'tehzeeb', going down on your knees, whether it is saying couplets in praise of a girl... I am from that school, I still believe in it," Shah Rukh told select media during his train journey from Mumbai to Delhi.

The actor was speaking en route Delhi in August Kranti Rajdhani train, on Monday night while promoting his latest crime-thriller ‘Raees’. The ‘Fan’ actor says his forthcoming film with Imtiaz Ali will have a mix of both the world- the old world romance and the new language.

"I think I am too old for a romantic film now, of that genre. May be the youngsters will have to find language which has formality but still of today. "May be in Imtiaz's film it might be there because I am playing kind of my age, 40s, the lady of course Anushka is younger than me.
