Iconic actor Shah Rukh Khan to receive initial National Film Honor following a gap of thirty years
Shah Rukh Khan, a prominent figure in Indian cinema for the past 33 years, has added another accolade to his impressive resume. The actor has been awarded the Best Actor Award at the 71st National Film Award for his role in the 2023 film 'Jawan'.
Directed by Atlee, 'Jawan' has been a major success, not only for Shah Rukh Khan's captivating performance but also for its status as the highest-grossing film of the year. The film, which also stars Vijay Sethupathi, Nayanthara, Sanya Malhotra, and others, has earned widespread acclaim since its September 2023 release.
'Jawan' is a significant milestone in Shah Rukh Khan's career, marking his first-ever National Film Award win. He shares this honour with Vikrant Massey, who won the Best Actor award for his performance in '12th Fail'.
Prior to 'Jawan', Shah Rukh Khan had already garnered numerous accolades, including 14 Filmfare Awards (eight for Best Actor, tying the record with Dilip Kumar) and national honours like the Padma Shri (2005) and international recognitions. However, the elusive National Film Award had remained out of reach until now.
Looking ahead, Shah Rukh Khan's next project is 'King', set to be released in 2026. This film will mark his first on-screen appearance with his daughter Suhana Khan, as well as his collaboration with Deepika Padukone. The role in 'King' is generating a lot of buzz on the internet, promising an exciting addition to Shah Rukh Khan's repertoire.
The announcement of Shah Rukh Khan's award is expected to take place today at a press conference in Delhi. For the latest updates on his projects, one might need to check recent news sources or official announcements, as they are not mentioned in the current data.
