SRK's work front:
Meanwhile, on the work front, Shah Rukh Khan had a great year in 2023. The superstar, after a long hiatus of 4 years, released three films 'Pathaan,' 'Jawan' and lastly 'Dunki' which have all set records at the box office.
Earlier this month, Khan attended a greet and meet with fans in Mumbai. Taking to X, Shah Rukh Khan Universe Fan Club shared a video in which King Khan said, "Because I have been working for 33 years and you take such a big gap. Normally you do feel a little nervous and you feel ki 'arrey yaar! I hope I have got the film right'."
"Usse pehle meri kuch filmein thi jo itni achi nahi gayi to mujhe ye bhi lagne laga tha ki main achi filmein ab bana nahi raha hoon. But I think, more than my films, ek pyaar tha logo ka..jo Pathaan ke liye, Jo Jawaan ke liye and jo Dunki ke liye..This whole country and people outside this country have actually taken me to their heart, more than the films, and have said that 'arrey yaar, 4 saal ke liye mat jaya karo. 2-4 mahine theek hai.' So I am very very thankful to all of you, to the audience and the whole world for making me realise 'jo main karta hu wo theek karta hoon aur mujhe wo baar baar karte rehna chahiye'," he added.
While he has not officially announced his next film, reports state that he has signed a film with Sujoy Ghosh that will also star his daughter Suhana Khan. The superstar's daughter recently made her debut with the film 'The Archies'.
