Shah Rukh set to receive 1st Nat’l Film Award

Entertainment Desk:

Shah Rukh Khan, famously known as the ‘Badshah of Bollywood’, is set to receive India’s National Film Award for the first time in his three-decade-long career. At the upcoming 71st National Film Awards, he will be honored with the Best Actor award for his outstanding performance in the film Jawan.

Released last year, Jawan featured Shah Rukh in a dual role that captivated audiences. Critics also hailed his performance as extraordinary. It is through this film that the Bollywood superstar will finally taste the honor of a National Award for the first time.

Shah Rukh Khan has already received numerous international accolades and holds countless box office records. He has also been honored with several prestigious awards, including the Filmfare Awards. However, the National Film Award had remained elusive for him-until now. Jawan is finally ending that long wait. Currently, Shah Rukh is busy shooting for his new film King, which is scheduled to release in 2026. Another major highlight is that this film will mark the big-screen debut of his daughter, Suhana Khan.
