Since his breakout role with Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge in 1995, Shah Rukh has consistently topped the Bollywood box office, with a few rare failures in between. After a few flops in the 2010s, Shah Rukh took a break from acting and returned with Pathaan. Upon its release, Pathaan easily broke the records for highest opening, highest one-day gross, highest opening weekend, and highest lifetime gross of any Bollywood film.
It is currently the highest-grosser Indian film of all time with a worldwide gross of Rs 988 crore. The actor currently has Atlee’s Jawan and Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki in a row. Both films are slated for release later this year.
