New Delhi: Shah Rukh Khan flew to Switzerland to attend the Locarno Film Festival, where he will be honoured with a special award. On Saturday, SRK will be honoured with the Pardo alla Carriera Award for his contribution to Indian cinema. News agency AFP quoted the festival’s artistic director Giona A Nazzaro as saying, “The wealth and breadth of his contribution to Indian cinema is unprecedented. Khan is a king who has never lost touch with the audience that crowned him. This brave and daring artist has always been willing to challenge himself.”

The actor then starred in another hit, Atlee’s Jawan with Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra and Vijay Sethupathi and Deepika Padukone. He ended the year with Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki, co-starring with Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal and Boman Irani.
