Article published originally on: http://ivernac.com/blog_bollywood-who-s-shahrukh-khan.html

Is this one of the best movie questions!

Thanks to SRK or King Khan, most of occidental men and women could know more about Bollywood movies. SRK is a man with a past very difficult if you compare it with another Bollywood Super Stars like Salman Khan for instance.

In this World Side, the movie more successful or known was “My name is Khan”; a beautiful movie that got our emotions forever. SRK is an actor who can play any role they give him. He played an ancient Warrior King, killer, Asperger man, videogames hero, sophisticated thief, dancer, student and so on.

The Bollywood movies weren’t the same if SRK wasn’t decided to be an excellent actor. For people who don’t know much about Bollywood movies, we can say them that in one of these you will cry, laugh, excite, or feel any emotion meanwhile you’re watching the same movie.

SRK is get married and is father of two children, his older male child is preparing for acting very soon in Bollywood. Born in New Delhi on 2nd November 1965 and brought up in the coastal city of Mangalore for the first five years of his life, Shahrukh made his debut in the Hindi Film Industry about 2 decade ago with Deewana (1992), a film that won him his first Filmfare Award for Best Debut Male^*2 .

In the last decade or so, Shahrukh consolidated his status as one of the most bankable stars in the country with successful films like Devdas, Chalte Chalte, Kal Ho Na Ho, Main Hoon Na and Veer Zaara. The actor was unable to maintain his success streak when Swades and Paheli failed at the box office. Two rare failures were followed by 10 back-to-back successful films that started with Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna and continues with his latest blockbusters Chennai Express and Happy New Year.

A few interesting points:

·        Shahrukh is second only to Rajesh Khanna when it comes to back-to-back hits. He currently has 10 and could eventually beat Khanna’s 15 consecutive hits record.

·        At the time of this writing, SRK also has almost all the box office records under his name – Highest grosser in India, Highest worldwide grosser, Highest Opening Day / Weekend / Week – just to name a few.

·        In every overseas market, Shahrukh is by far the biggest superstar. Some of his older films like Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna are still in the Top 10.

·        Not a single Shahrukh Khan film has ever been declared as a box office disaster!

·        The total business generated by his films in India is Rs 1642.52 crore, only behind Salman Khan and Akshay Kumar.
