Shah Rukh Khan made a dream comeback in 2023. After the Zero debacle in 2018, the superstar went on a break and returned after four years. His Pathaan, earlier last year, shattered all pre-existing records by earning 543.22 crores at the Indian box office. His Jawan turned out to be a much bigger success and earned a staggering 640.42 crores. Towards the end of 2023, his Dunki came, and it did a business of 232 crores.

In a single year alone, Shah Rukh Khan became the first Indian actor to collect 1000 crores in the post-COVID era, with his domestic total reaching 1415.64 crores. Until Kalki 2898 AD came, Shah Rukh was in a safe position and rocked the throne of being the highest-grossing Indian actor in the post-pandemic era. Now, with Kalki’s tremendous run, Deepika Padukone has surpassed Shah Rukh.
