Al Issawi said earlier during a TV program, that he earns his main living as a photographer, but recently turned to acting in a number of series and movies.
He continued: "I am happy with this resemblance between me and Shahrukh Khan, but I prefer that people treat me as Akram and not the look alike."
As for dealing with fans, he said: "I try to portray my character as Akram and I'm used to people's looks in the street. Some even think I am the real Shahrukh Khan, and others ask me to speak in Arabic."
Al Issawi denies imitating Bollywood star Shahrukh Khan, saying: "I do not watch Indian or Arabic movies. I just watched the film (my name is Khan) by chance, and sometimes I feel I don't look like him."
