A glimpse into the three iconic films
Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge (1995)—which cemented SRK as the quintessential romantic hero of Bollywood—was directed by Aditya Chopa and co-starred Kajol and Amrish Puri. The musical romance Dil To Pagal Hai (1997), featuring Madhuri Dixit and Karisma Kapoor, is a tale of friendship and love masterfully crafted by Yash Chopra. The sports drama Chak De! India (2007)—hailed as one of SRK's most passionate projects—deals with the Indian National Hockey Team (female).
Khan's upcoming films
Up next, Khan is set to appear in Sujoy Ghosh's tentatively titled King, where he is reported to be seen in an extended cameo. His daughter Suhana Khan (The Archies), will make her theatrical debut with King. Additionally, SRK has YRF's spy thriller film Tiger Vs Pathaan lined up. He'd previously announced that his next project will begin in the summer of 2024.
Take a look at SRK's collaborations with YRF
YRF has contributed massively to SRK's career over the years and has given him some of his biggest films. Apart from DDLJ, Chak De! India, and Dil To Pagal Hai, SRK has collaborated with YRF on films such as Darr, Fan, Rab Ne Bana Di Jodi, Mohabbatein, Veer-Zaara, Jab Tak Hai Jaan, and more recently, Pathaan and Tiger 3 (cameo appearance).
