"Bollywood's Badshah" is a title given to superstar Shah Rukh Khan for a reason. The world just experienced SRK's global popularity once more when he made his comeback to the big screen with Pathaan after a four-year absence. With his film's box office success, King Khan shattered several records, both domestically and internationally. He is currently enjoying the popularity of the Hindi film that has earned the most money ever internationally.
The Toronto premiere of SRK's movie Devdas coincides with Pathaan's triumph. The Sanjay Leela Bhansali-directed film, which also stars Aishwarya Rai Bachchan, had its world debut as a part of Love Will Tear Us Apart, which is shown in the Bell Lightbox of the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF). Their official account tweeted a message on Sunday morning referring to the actor as "Bollywood Royalty."
Sanjay Leela Bhansali's adaptation of Sarat Chandra Chattopadhyay's classic novel, DEVDAS, starring Shah Rukh Khan and Aishwarya Rai, is part of the Love Will Tear Us Apart presentation at the TIFF Bell Lightbox until February 26.
Applause for Badshah
SRKians were in awe of the secret pictures and kind sentiments. They praised and showered the Pathaan actor with affection in the comments section. A devoted devotee wrote, "Shah Rukh Khan is God." He is Bollywood in itself, said another. "SRK pride of India," read a remark.
