  • No need for this. Everyone already knows that only SRK and Aamir are big stars overseas and the rest are zero. Funny thing for Akki fans is on Box office India. OUTIMD opening day should be around 6 cr according to them.

    6 cr. LOL

  • 5cr difference from his own movie too wow but it is not new we know that SRK is the king of bollywood, overseas and worldwide

    and Of course Dubai is his 2nd home , and what a home he own , oh god wish i can spend 1 day there, both of his houses are like a heaven on earth, water every where

    6 200cr club waiting for Chennai Expres, 10 days to go. We SRKians have been waiting for 4 years for this day.

  • @maroonporsche. Yes salman has also made his presence overseas in the last 5 years. However Shah Rukh is still number one by far. The three Khans and sometimes Hrithik are the only ones known internationally

  • Very interesting article (courtesy :mumbai mirror)
    OUTIMD team were in DUBAI to promote their upcoming film. very surprisingly they got a call from the palace for an invitation to dinner. very happily but curiously they all went
    once inside the palace and in front of the king they were asked to introduce themselves.
    SHockingly they found out that kings knowledge about bollywood started and stopped at SRK
    The king than asked them how were they related to SRK. every one had to say that they r stars like SRK
    than the king asked have they come to promote SRK s movie.
    finally AKSHAY kumar asked the king has he seen any movie. he said yes. SRK movies
    the whole team felt so awkward and got the first hand information about the popularity and fame of king SRK
    wow really great

  • Overseas is unarguably SRK’s domain. Yearly lists or all time lists, maximum number of top grossers and top openers overseas are SRK films.
    Haters living in dreamland keep saying he’s finished, while he keeps setting records with incomparable consistency.
