After the 2018 film, Zero, Shah Rukh Khan is all set for his re-entry. Four years since he was last seen in Zero, Shah Rukh Khan fans eagerly wait to watch him on the silver screen. As the first outing, a month ago, Yash Raj Films released the teaser video of Pathaan, directed by Siddharth Anand. Also starring John Abraham and Deepika Padukone in crucial roles, the makers have announced that Pathaan will be released during the Republic Day weekend in 2023.
In April 2022, SRK surprised everyone by officially announcing his collaboration with Rajkumar Hirani for a project. Titled Dunki, the film is expected to go on the floors soon. Co-starring Taapsee Pannu, Dunki will have a theatrical release on December 22, 2023, announced the team.
Celebrated Bollywood Analyst cum Business Transformation Expert Hirav Shah talks about how the legendary actor has been seeing some tough times with the controversy around his son and then the debate around his praying gesture at the last rites of Lata Mangeshkar.
Hirav Shah says, “SRK has been quiet and dignified through all the difficulties he’s been through, and he has come out stronger from it. His new action hero avatar in the Thums Up commercial is his way of giving it back to the world. We all love the guy who falls and rises up. SRK’s brand equity has become stronger once again.”
Don’t get excited and satisfied with only these two films, as Shah Rukh Khan will be seen in five more films in the next two years.
To summarize, Shah Rukh Khan will rock the screens in seven films in the next 20 months. Now, Hirav Shah has come up with a list of films that will mark the greatest comeback by Shah Rukh Khan.
