Over his 30-year career, Shah Rukh Khan has delivered countless iconic films, earning commendations for his unparalleled contributions to cinema.

Shah Rukh Khan’s remarkable achievements are not limited to coins. In 2008, his wax statue was installed in the Grevin Museum, and to date, 14 wax statues of Khan have been created in various parts of the world. This widespread recognition underscores his immense stature in the cinematic world.

Reflecting on Khan’s recent work, the past year was particularly exceptional for him. He was last seen in the film 'Dunki,' capping off a year where three of his films—'Pathaan,' 'Jawan,' and 'Dunki'—were massive hits in theaters. These films not only set new box office records in India but also performed remarkably well internationally. Fans are eagerly awaiting his next project, 'King,' although details about the film remain under wraps.

As Shah Rukh Khan prepares for his 2025 comeback, his legacy as a global cinematic icon continues to grow, inspiring millions and setting new benchmarks for the film industry.
