Throughout the ’90s and 2000s, he became known for redefining Bollywood romance, delivering a string of box office hits that cemented his reputation as the industry’s reigning romantic hero.
After a quieter stretch in the industry, Shah Rukh Khan made a massive comeback in 2023, starring in a series of consecutive blockbusters that reaffirmed his box office dominance and introduced him to a new generation of fans across the globe.
Now, Shah Rukh Khan is preparing for what may be one of the biggest moments of his career. His next major project reunites him with a longtime collaborator and marks his first theatrical lead role in three years. The film also stars his own daughter alongside a star-studded cast, and is scheduled for a Christmas release later this year.
