New Delhi: Bollywood Badshah is the number 1 star on the Top 50 Asian Celebrities in the World. The official list was unveiled on Friday. Following him are Alia Bhatt and Priyanka Chopra in the second and third spots respectively.
Diljit Dosanjh and Ranbir Kapoor are also among the top celebs. The list was published by the UK’s weekly Eastern Eye. An excerpt from the list mentioned about Shah Rukh, “Khan will become the first leading man from the modern era to have three huge Bollywood blockbuster hits in a calendar year. By drawing big audiences back into cinema halls with global juggernauts, the actor gave a movie industry that has been in deep decline a much needed boost and had a transformative effect. The history-making superstar eclipsed everyone else with his brilliance and reminded global audiences what escapist Bollywood cinema is capable of.”
Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in Dunki. Also starring Taapsee Pannu, Vicky Kaushal, the film is helmed by Rajkumar Hirani. The film will be released on December 21.
