Still from Jawan

Shah Rukh Khan's Jawan is unstoppable. The film, directed by Atlee, has already crossed Rs 8 billion at the global office and has collected over Rs 5 billion at the domestic box office. The film is on its way to createhistory, set to become the biggest success in the history of Indian cinema.

The tremendous success of Jawan has just reiterated why Shah Rukh Khan is rightfully known as the King of Bollywood.

Jawan's success comes months after SRK's other film Pathaan created a staggering impact at the global box office. Pathaan was directed by Siddharth Anand and marked SRK's comeback to the big screen after four years.

Pathaan, amid controversies and calls for boycott, earned over Rs 10 billion at the global box office and in India over Rs 6 billion, making it the second-highest-grossing Hindi film of all time.

It has only been 11 days since Jawan hit the theatres worldwide and in this short span, the film has earned over Rs 8 billion internationally.

Jawan is now inching towards making Rs 10 billion globally. As the film continues to rake in big numbers, it is on course to make SRK the only Indian actor to have two Rs 10 billion in films at the box office within a year.

Though only two films have recorded a worldwide gross of over Rs 10 billion so far - Nitesh Tiwari’s Dangal (2016) and Pathaan (2023)- it took both films substantial time to hit the milestone.

While Pathaan entered the esteemed club on its 27th day of theatrical release, it took Dangal months to cross the mark and happened only after it was released in China.

However, going by the current trend, Jawan is likely to cross the milestone by the end of its third week of theatrical run.

Shah Rukh Khan, the only Bollywood actor to have two Rs 10 billion grossers

When Jawan earns Rs 10 billion at the global office, itwill make Shah Rukh the only Indian artistto have two Rs 10-billion grossers in a single year.

The staggering amount will also make SRK the only Bollywood actor to have two Rs 10 billiongrossers.

Jawan is currently the second-highest-grossing Indian film of 2023 and the seventh-highest-grossing Indian movie of all time. The film is also the fastest movie to cross the Rs 4 billion mark.
