The megastar of Bollywood and King of Romance delivered several memorable films and box office blockbusters like Baazigar, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge, Karan Arjun, Kuch Kuch Hota Hai, Darr, Mohabbatein, Dil To Pagal Hai, Veer-Zaara, Chennai Express and many others.

However, post Happy New Year (2014), SRK’s film underperformed at the ticket windows with Zero (2018) turning out to be a colossal disappointment.

After a hiatus gap of over 4 years, the megastar made a roaring comeback and delivered an all-time blockbuster with Pathaan. The spy-actioner costarring Deepika Padukone and John Abraham shattered all the records and emerged as the highest-grossing Bollywood film in the country with an insane collection of Rs 543.05 crore.

The total collections of both films (Pathaan and Jawan) have already crossed the Rs 1000 crore mark in the domestic market, and this is the first time an actor has achieved such kind of feat in the history of Indian cinema. While Jawan is looking to surpass the lifetime business of Pathaan, SRK also has one more biggie coming up this year. Yes, it is Dunki with the blockbuster filmmaker Rajkumar Hirani, which also stars Taapsee Pannu in a prominent role.
