Popularly known in India as ‘King Khan’, SRK often makes India proud at the global level. Earlier this month, it was announced that the actor will be honoured at the Locarno Film Festival with its Honorary Leopard Achievement Award. The award will pay tribute to his remarkable career in the Indian cinema consisting of more than 100 films in a breathtaking multitude of genres. He will receive the award on the evening of Saturday, August 10 at Piazza Grande. In addition, a key film from Khan’s career – Devdas (Sanjay Leela Bhansali, 2002) will be screened during the Festival, and SRK will appear at the Forum @Spazio Cinema for a conversation open to the public on Sunday, August 11.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Shah Rukh Khan ruled the box office in 2023 with three blockbuster films – Pathaan, Jawan and Dunki. Pathaan was released in January 2023. The film marked Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback to the big screen after four years and impressed everyone. It also starred Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in key roles. On the other hand, Jawan was released in September 2023. It also featured Deepika Padukone, Nayanthara, Ridhi Dogra and Vijay Sethupathi among others. It became the highest-grossing Hindi film ever with a whopping Rs 643 Cr. nett collection in India across all languages.

After the two mega releases, Shah Rukh Khan returned to theatres in December 2023 with Dunki – his first with the director Rajkumar Hirani. The film also starred Vicky Kaushal and Taapsee Pannu in key roles. The plot of the film followed the exciting journey of those who choose an unconventional route known as the Donkey Flight, showing the difficulties they face on their way.

Meanwhile, SRK will soon be seen in King, the shooting for which is currently underway.
