Without any reason srk is the ultimate king of oversease, dis time its domestic.
chennai express is rocking everywhere
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
CE At The Top…Great news for srk fans…

6 200cr club waiting for Chennai Expres, 10 days to go. We SRKians have been waiting for 4 years for this day.
@ babu
Salman is there too
I say salman and Aamir are one level behind srk
@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
ha ha ha ha. he only competes with himself in over seas market
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.
Srk is the badshah of overseas market…
No competitor for SRK in the overseas market. SRK rocks
