Shah Rukh Khan truly ruled the year 2023 with his releases, including Pathaan, Jawan, and Dunki, breaking several records and creating some new ones too. After a long break, the superstar made a banger return and took the box office by storm. While the films have topped several charts, they are now set for international recognition.

After a hiatus of four long years, Shah Rukh Khan made a grand return to the big screen in January 2023 with Siddarth Anand’s Pathaan. Also featuring actors Deepika Padukone and John Abraham, the film broke several records and became one of the highest-grossing films of the year. While Pathaan continues to remain special for the actor and his fans, he next delivered another hit with Atlee Kumar’s Jawan. He was once again seen in an action role, fighting against the evils of society. The film went on to collect over Rs 1,000 crore globally.

This did not end here. The actor concluded the year with yet another hit with Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki, a film that focused on the illegal immigration of people through the Dunki route. Next, the actor is yet to announce his future projects but is likely to begin work by mid-2024.
