Apart from the cumulative success of these three films, it has now been reported that the superstar has also created a phenomenon by drawing nothing less than eight crore people to theatres throughout the year, with Jawan contributing 3.93 crore, Pathaan 3.20 crore, and Dunki over 1 crore so far, making SRK has become the first ever Hindi film actor to achieve this.

He is also the first superstar ever to have all three releases cross the coveted Rs 500 crore in the domestic market and Rs 1,000 crore worldwide mark in a single year, according to a News18 report.

With Pathaan, released in January 2023, Shah Rukh Khan came back to the big screen after four years and how! Jawan released in the second half of 2023 in September 2023 and became the highest-grossing Hindi film ever with a whopping Rs 643 crore nett collection in India across all languages.

 

Dunki, his first with the director Rajkumar Hirani, followed closely behind in December. The film also starred Vicky Kaushal and Taapsee Pannu in key roles. The plot of the film followed the exciting journey of those who choose an unconventional route known as the Donkey Flight, showing the difficulties they face on their way.
