Shah Rukh Khan received the Pardo alla Carriera, also known as the Career Leopard, at the 77th Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland on Saturday. Displaying his usual candid demeanor, SRK made a light-hearted joke at the festival, stating, "For those who don't know me, leave, google me, and then come back." During the event, he humorously introduced himself—though he hardly needs an introduction—saying, "I am Shah Rukh Khan and I work in Indian films, primarily Hindi." Google India responded playfully on X (formerly Twitter) by tagging the actor and including a crown emoji in reaction to his "Google me and then come back" quip, a nod to King Khan.👑 @iamsrk https://t.co/NpbFTCUfD2
The actor's upcoming film is titled King, and will be directed by Sujoy Ghosh. SRK mentioned at the festival, "I completed Jawan and Dunki last year. Now, I'm keen on doing a certain type of film, perhaps more focused on my age, which I've been considering for over 7 years. I once casually mentioned it to Sujoy Ghosh in my office. He responded, sir, I have a subject," he added. Shah Rukh Khan's most recent appearance was in Dunki, directed by Rajkumar Hirani, released in 2023. Pathaan and Jawan were his other films from the previous year.
