Shah Rukh Khan has been awarded Best Actor in a Leading Role at the IIFA 2024 ceremony held in Abu Dhabi on Saturday, recognizing his exceptional performance in the blockbuster film “Jawan.”
His portrayal in “Jawan,” which featured Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone alongside him, earned widespread acclaim. Upon receiving the award, SRK shared a heartfelt moment with music maestro A.R. Rahman and showed his respect to director Mani Ratnam by touching his feet, a gesture that delighted his fans.
The superstar made a notable return to cinema in January 2023 with the action-packed film “Pathaan,” directed by Siddharth Anand. This film marked SRK’s return to form after a four-year hiatus and became a major box office hit, breaking several records and solidifying its status as one of the highest-grossing films in Indian history.
Following the success of “Pathaan,” “Jawan” hit theaters in September, where SRK once again showcased his action star prowess. The film has surpassed the remarkable milestone of Rs 1000 crore in global earnings.
With its engaging narrative and outstanding performances, “Jawan” not only captivated audiences but also set new benchmarks for box office achievements. The film, released on September 7, marked SRK’s first venture with director Atlee, contributing to its groundbreaking success.
