Today, Shah Rukh's team Kolkata Knight Riders is all set to clash with Lucknow Super Giants. The cricket match will take place at the Bharat Ratna Shri Atal Bihari Vajpayee Ekana Cricket Stadium, Lucknow.
KKR are at their top form currently as they are coming into this match after beating Mumbai Indians (MI) by 24 runs. KKR holds the second place in IPL 2024 standings with 14 points after winning 7 of 10 matches.
On the other hand, LSG stands in the third place of the table with 12 points after having 6 wins from 10 matches. KL Rahul's LSG are coming into this match after clinching a 4-wicket victory over Mumbai Indians (MI).
Shah Rukh was seen with his younger son Abram at the KKR IPL matches recently.
On the work front, SRK returned to the silver screen with Siddharth Anand's 'Pathaan' in January 2023.
The film in which SRK donned an awe-evoking action avatar broke several records at the box office and managed to grab a name in the list of one of the highest-grossing films in the Indian film industry.
The film also marked SRK's first hit after his sabbatical of four years after a series of flicks such as 'Zero' and 'Jab Harry Met Sejal'. After 'Pathaan', King Khan returned to theatres in September with 'Jawan'.
The film once again saw SRK in an action avatar. The film collected over Rs 1000 crore. at the worldwide box office. Needless to say, SRK, who has had a phenomenal run, did not stop here.
In December, he came up with 'Dunki', which also did decent business at the box office.
Helmed by Rajkumar Hirani, 'Dunki' focuses on the issue of immigration. Its title is taken from the term "donkey journey," which refers to the long, winding, and often dangerous routes that people across the world take to reach the places they want to immigrate to. He has not announced his next project yet.
However, if reports are to be believed, he will be seen sharing screen space with Salman Khan in 'Tiger vs Pathaan'. The film will reportedly have Tiger (Salman) locking horns with Pathaan, played by Shah Rukh Khan. It will mark their full-fledged collaboration after 'Karan Arjun'. The official announcement regarding the project is still awaited. (ANI)
