Shah Rukh Khan is all set to make a grand comeback this December with his highly anticipated King. Given the anticipation around the film, it is expected to make big moolah at the worldwide box office. In the meantime, the superstar will look forward to entering the 3000-crore club globally in the post-COVID era. But will he be able to overtake Ranveer Singh to become the highest-grossing Indian male star post-COVID (as main lead)? Let’s discuss it below!

Shah Rukh Khan grosses 2700+ worldwide in the post-COVID era!

Shah Rukh has had three theatrical releases so far in the post-COVID era. It started with Pathaan in 2023, which grossed a whopping 1069.85 crore globally, emerging as an all-time blockbuster. It was followed by a much bigger success with Jawan in the same year, which grossed 1163.62 crore. His third release of 2023, Dunki, underperformed amid mammoth expectations but still emerged victorious, grossing 470.6 crore.

Overall, Shah Rukh Khan amassed a staggering 2704.07 crore gross at the worldwide box office. As we can see, the superstar needs less than 300 crore to hit the 3000 crore milestone in the post-COVID era. With King, he’s expected to reach the 3000 crore milestone.

Take a look at the worldwide collection of SRK’s post-COVID releases:

  • Pathaan – 1069.85 crore
  • Jawan – 1163.62 crore
  • Dunki – 470.6 crore

Total – 2704.07 crore

Can Shah Rukh dethrone Ranveer Singh’s post-COVID total?

For those who don’t know, Ranveer Singh is currently the highest-grossing Indian male star in the post-COVID era, with a staggering 3802.64 crore. If we take a look, Shah Rukh Khan is lagging by 1098.57 crore. So, his King must score 1099 crore worldwide to overtake Ranveer and claim the throne. While the number looks extremely big, it isn’t an impossible target. In the past, Shah Rukh has delivered 1000-crore grossers twice, so he can achieve the milestone once again if the film enjoys strong word-of-mouth.

Meanwhile, Shah Rukh Khan is returning to big screens after a gap of three years, and the excitement is sky-high for King. If it clicks with the audience, the sky will be the limit at the box office.
