Action Group” (TAG).
In 1988 Khan’s first starring role was in Lekh Tandon’s television series Dil Dariya, but due to production delays, the 1988 television series, Fauji was his television debut. He played the leading role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai in the critically acclaimed show, which earned him mass recognition.
In the year of 1988 he also had a minor role in the English language made-for-television film In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones, which was written by Arundhati Roy and based on life at Delhi University.
His appearance in these tele serials, lead critics to compare his acting style with that of film actor Dilip Kumar.
He went on to appear in other television serials, such as the 1989 serial, Aziz Mirza’s Circus, which depicted the life of circus performers. When Khan appeared in those teleserials, people found in him some resemblance with actor Dilip Kumar and also compared his acting style with the latter’s.
He subsequently featured in Mani Kaul’s adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Idiot, Idiot. Originally made for television, the film eventually received a theatrical release and debuted at the New York Film Festival on 8 October 1992.
Later that year, he played the titular character in the comedy, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, which was his first of many collaborations with actress Juhi Chawla. The film proved to be a box office hit. He went on to star in Ketan Mehta’s Maya Memsaab, an adaptation of Gustave Flaubert’s novel Madame Bovary. Upon release, the film generated controversy in India due to Khan’s appearance in an “explicit” sex scene with co-star Deepa Sahi.
Shah Rukh Khan made his Bollywood debut with Raj Kanwar’s “Deewana” in 1992 alongside Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti. The film was a box office hit. He made his Bollywood film debut in Deewana (1992), which was a box office hit and launched his career in Bollywood. His debut performance won him a Filmfare Best Male Debut Award. His second release Maya Memsaab was known for its controversial issues as Khan appeared in what was an “explicit scene in Bollywood” sex scene for the film.
In 1990, Khan shifted base to Mumbai and received his first film offer with Hema Malini’s directorial debut Dil Aashna Hai. However, due to production delays, his second film, Deewana (1992), opposite Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti released first. The film became a box office hit, and launched his career in Bollywood. Despite portraying a supporting character in the film, he won a Filmfare Best Male Debut Award, the following year.
The year is 1991. First-time director Hema Malini looks anxious on the sets of her directorial debut, ‘Dil Aashna Hai’. The cause of her anxiety triggers laughter as it is discovered that the lady, despite employing all haircut methods on her boyish-looking hero Shahrukh Khan, remains unsuccessful with his unruly mop. Hema finally lets go of the boy and his effervescent hair without a crop.
The film bungled at the box office. Was it due to Shah Rukh Khan’s boisterous hair?
Today, in retrospect, it looks like it was his disheveled hair, big nose, average height and average looks that broke conventions to give birth to a new-age star.
In 1993, Khan garnered appreciation for portraying negative roles, that of an obsessive lover and a murderer, respectively, in the box office hits, Darr and Baazigar. The “Encyclopedia of Hindi Cinema” analyzed that “he defied the image of the conventional hero in both these films and created his own version of the revisionist hero.”Darr marked the first of many collaborations of Khan with film-maker Yash Chopra and his banner Yash Raj Films. Khan’s stammering in the film and the usage of the phrase, “I love you, Kkkiran,” were popular with the audiences. His other release, Baazigar, in which he played an ambiguous avenger who murders his girlfriend, “shocked the Indian audiences” with an unexpected violation of the standard Bollywood formula. His performance in Baazigar won him his first Filmfare Best Actor Award.
The same year, Khan played the role of a love-struck musician in Kundan Shah’s dramedy Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, a performance that earned him a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance. In a retrospective review by Rediff, Sukanya Verma called it Khan’s best performance and added, “He was spontaneous, vulnerable, boyish, mischievous and acting straight from the heart.”Khan, himself, considers this film to the best film that he has acted in.[53] In 1994, Khan once again played an obsessive lover in Anjaam, co-starring Madhuri Dixit. Though the film was a commercial failiure, Khan’s performance earned him the Filmfare Best Villain Award.
Sharukh’s USP were his energy, fizz and ‘dreamz unlimited’. The boy just refuses to sit idle. Says Juhi co-star and friend: ”Shahrukh went on even when others stopped due to exhaustion. He breathes films. He is down-to-earth, without an attitude. He is very friendly and has a funny sense of humor”.
In 1995, Khan starred in two box-office blockbusters. His first release was Rakesh Roshan’s melodramatic thriller Karan Arjun, in which Khan was a part of an ensemble cast that included Salman Khan, Kajol, Mamta Kulkarni, Raakhee and Amrish Puri. The film, which dealt with the concept of reincarnation, became the second-highest grossing film of the year in India. He followed it with Aditya Chopra’s directorial debut, the romance Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. A major critical and commercial success, the film became the year’s top-grossing production in India and abroad. The film was declared an “all time blockbuster”; it remains the longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema and as of 2011, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has grossed over INR 1.2 billion worldwide. The film won ten Filmfare Awards, and Khan’s performance as a young NRI who falls for Kajol’s character while on a trip across Europe won him critical acclaim and his second Best Actor Award at the Filmfare.
In 2005, Indiatimes Movies ranked the film amongst the 25 Must See Bollywood Films, citing it as a “trendsetter of sorts”. Raja Sen reviewed, “Khan gives a fabulous performance, redefining the lover for the 1990s with great panache. He’s cool and flippant, but sincere enough to appeal to the junta [audience]. The performance itself is, like the best in the business, played well enough to come across as effortless, as non-acting.”
1996 proved to be a disappointing year for Khan, as he appeared in two critical and commercial failiures, Praveen Nischol’s English Babu Desi Mem and Mahesh Bhatt’ Chaahat.
In 1997, his starring role in Subhash Ghai’s social drama Pardes earned him commercial success.

His performance earned him a nomination for the Best Actor at the Filmfare Award ceremony. He then featured in Aziz Mirza’s romantic comedy, Yes Boss, opposite Juhi Chawla. Upon release, the film performed moderately well at the box-office. His final release of the year was Yash Chopra’s blockbuster musical romance, Dil to Pagal Hai.

It garnered him another nomination for the Filmfare Best Actor Award. Khan termed Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham as “a turning point in his career”.
In December 2001, while filming a special appearance for Krishna Vamsi’s Shakti: The Power, Khan suffered a spine injury while doing one of the action sequences. He flew to Lucknow a week later for a series of stage shows which led to further aggravation of his condition. By the time he returned to Mumbai, Khan was experiencing severe pain. He was subsequently diagnosed with a prolapsed disc between vertebrae six and seven. Khan is one of the few celebrities worldwide to have had the problem. Hoping to avoid surgery in a bid to not delay his pending projects, and based on his former experience with a failed knee surgery three years earlier, Khan tried multiple alternative therapies from homoeopathy to Reiki but nothing offered a permanent solution. He eventually shot Devdas (2002) and Chalte Chalte (2003) in acute pain and continued with the shoot for Kal Ho Na Ha (2003) until the day he left for London. He reached the point where he had doctors and ambulances on standby on the sets.

Working on this film put us in touch with that emotion. After the release of the film, Khan took a six months break from acting. He explained that during his break, he “just enjoyed the feeling of being sad”.
Khan also starred alongside Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan in the family-drama Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam. The film, which took six years to make, due to unending production problems, emerged as an average grosser at the box office.

It also presented the risk of paralysis of his arms. In February, Khan was told by doctors that he had to undergo an urgent Anterior Cervical Discectomy. The main concern was the possibility of irreparable nerve damage during surgery which would have left him with a permanent weak left side. During his acceptance speech for the Filmfare Best Actor award he received for his performance in Devdas (2002), Khan stated that emotionally he was a bit shaken as he was going in for a surgery that was described by him as a “not a very good thing to go in for. ”The surgery took place on February 24 in Wellington Hospital in London and lasted for one hour – a titanium disc was inserted in his spine and he was discharged after two days.
Khan faced several post-operative problems including hoarseness, weakness, pain and high risk of infection. In an interview with Rediff four months after the surgery, he said “I am supposed to be on the road to recovery. For a year, I have to take things easy. I have my good and bad moments. Mornings aren’t good. Till about 2 pm, I feel a lot of pain. When I bend down or play with my kids, I get some pain in the neck (…) For now I have to go to London every month for a checkup. ” He resumed shooting Kal Ho Na Ha (2003) and Main Hoon Na (2004) in June of the same year however, the songs sequences in those films had to be postponed to late October.

The film received mixed reviews from film critics, but was declared a blockbuster at the box-office. His performance was appreciated by critics, with Rachel Saltz of The New York Times writing, “The Surinder/Raj dual role seems tailor-made (probably was) for Mr. Khan, who gets to show off his twin talents: he suffers nobly and entertains with panache.

Khan spent several months researching by reading books, watching videos and talking to people affected with the disorder in an effort to portray the character of Rizwan Khan. In an interview with Hindustan Times he said, “Whenever you’re dealing with a disorder or a near atypical situation, the first thought is that the sort of parameters you have to set that in no which way you are derogatory or deriding the disorder. The second part is you have to come as close to reality in depicting that characterization and so one had to study a lot and one does get worried Upon release, My Name is Khan received positive reviews from critics and became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all-time in the overseas market. Khan’s performance in the film was appreciated by most critics with Jay Wesissberg from Variety reviewing, “Khan uses the mannerisms associated with Asperger’s – averted eyes, springy steps, stuttered repetitions of memorized texts – yet captures the personality beneath the condition in a standout performance sure to receive the Autism Society’s gold seal of approval.

In 1988 Khan’s first starring role was in Lekh Tandon’s television series Dil Dariya, but due to production delays, the 1988 television series, Fauji was his television debut. He played the leading role of Commando Abhimanyu Rai in the critically acclaimed show, which earned him mass recognition.
In the year of 1988 he also had a minor role in the English language made-for-television film In Which Annie Gives it Those Ones, which was written by Arundhati Roy and based on life at Delhi University.
His appearance in these tele serials, lead critics to compare his acting style with that of film actor Dilip Kumar.
He went on to appear in other television serials, such as the 1989 serial, Aziz Mirza’s Circus, which depicted the life of circus performers. When Khan appeared in those teleserials, people found in him some resemblance with actor Dilip Kumar and also compared his acting style with the latter’s.
He subsequently featured in Mani Kaul’s adaptation of Fyodor Dostoevsky’s The Idiot, Idiot. Originally made for television, the film eventually received a theatrical release and debuted at the New York Film Festival on 8 October 1992.
Later that year, he played the titular character in the comedy, Raju Ban Gaya Gentleman, which was his first of many collaborations with actress Juhi Chawla. The film proved to be a box office hit. He went on to star in Ketan Mehta’s Maya Memsaab, an adaptation of Gustave Flaubert’s novel Madame Bovary. Upon release, the film generated controversy in India due to Khan’s appearance in an “explicit” sex scene with co-star Deepa Sahi.
Shah Rukh Khan made his Bollywood debut with Raj Kanwar’s “Deewana” in 1992 alongside Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti. The film was a box office hit. He made his Bollywood film debut in Deewana (1992), which was a box office hit and launched his career in Bollywood. His debut performance won him a Filmfare Best Male Debut Award. His second release Maya Memsaab was known for its controversial issues as Khan appeared in what was an “explicit scene in Bollywood” sex scene for the film.
In 1990, Khan shifted base to Mumbai and received his first film offer with Hema Malini’s directorial debut Dil Aashna Hai. However, due to production delays, his second film, Deewana (1992), opposite Rishi Kapoor and Divya Bharti released first. The film became a box office hit, and launched his career in Bollywood. Despite portraying a supporting character in the film, he won a Filmfare Best Male Debut Award, the following year.
The year is 1991. First-time director Hema Malini looks anxious on the sets of her directorial debut, ‘Dil Aashna Hai’. The cause of her anxiety triggers laughter as it is discovered that the lady, despite employing all haircut methods on her boyish-looking hero Shahrukh Khan, remains unsuccessful with his unruly mop. Hema finally lets go of the boy and his effervescent hair without a crop.
The film bungled at the box office. Was it due to Shah Rukh Khan’s boisterous hair?
Today, in retrospect, it looks like it was his disheveled hair, big nose, average height and average looks that broke conventions to give birth to a new-age star.
In 1993, Khan garnered appreciation for portraying negative roles, that of an obsessive lover and a murderer, respectively, in the box office hits, Darr and Baazigar. The “Encyclopedia of Hindi Cinema” analyzed that “he defied the image of the conventional hero in both these films and created his own version of the revisionist hero.”Darr marked the first of many collaborations of Khan with film-maker Yash Chopra and his banner Yash Raj Films. Khan’s stammering in the film and the usage of the phrase, “I love you, Kkkiran,” were popular with the audiences. His other release, Baazigar, in which he played an ambiguous avenger who murders his girlfriend, “shocked the Indian audiences” with an unexpected violation of the standard Bollywood formula. His performance in Baazigar won him his first Filmfare Best Actor Award.
The same year, Khan played the role of a love-struck musician in Kundan Shah’s dramedy Kabhi Haan Kabhi Naa, a performance that earned him a Filmfare Critics Award for Best Performance. In a retrospective review by Rediff, Sukanya Verma called it Khan’s best performance and added, “He was spontaneous, vulnerable, boyish, mischievous and acting straight from the heart.”Khan, himself, considers this film to the best film that he has acted in.[53] In 1994, Khan once again played an obsessive lover in Anjaam, co-starring Madhuri Dixit. Though the film was a commercial failiure, Khan’s performance earned him the Filmfare Best Villain Award.
Sharukh’s USP were his energy, fizz and ‘dreamz unlimited’. The boy just refuses to sit idle. Says Juhi co-star and friend: ”Shahrukh went on even when others stopped due to exhaustion. He breathes films. He is down-to-earth, without an attitude. He is very friendly and has a funny sense of humor”.
In 1995, Khan starred in two box-office blockbusters. His first release was Rakesh Roshan’s melodramatic thriller Karan Arjun, in which Khan was a part of an ensemble cast that included Salman Khan, Kajol, Mamta Kulkarni, Raakhee and Amrish Puri. The film, which dealt with the concept of reincarnation, became the second-highest grossing film of the year in India. He followed it with Aditya Chopra’s directorial debut, the romance Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge. A major critical and commercial success, the film became the year’s top-grossing production in India and abroad. The film was declared an “all time blockbuster”; it remains the longest-running film in the history of Indian cinema and as of 2011, Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge has grossed over INR 1.2 billion worldwide. The film won ten Filmfare Awards, and Khan’s performance as a young NRI who falls for Kajol’s character while on a trip across Europe won him critical acclaim and his second Best Actor Award at the Filmfare.
In 2005, Indiatimes Movies ranked the film amongst the 25 Must See Bollywood Films, citing it as a “trendsetter of sorts”. Raja Sen reviewed, “Khan gives a fabulous performance, redefining the lover for the 1990s with great panache. He’s cool and flippant, but sincere enough to appeal to the junta [audience]. The performance itself is, like the best in the business, played well enough to come across as effortless, as non-acting.”
1996 proved to be a disappointing year for Khan, as he appeared in two critical and commercial failiures, Praveen Nischol’s English Babu Desi Mem and Mahesh Bhatt’ Chaahat.
In 1997, his starring role in Subhash Ghai’s social drama Pardes earned him commercial success. The film, which also featured Mahima Chaudhry and Apurva Agnihotri, saw him portray the role of Arjun, a musician facing a moral dilemma. His performance earned him a nomination for the Best Actor at the Filmfare Award ceremony. He then featured in Aziz Mirza’s romantic comedy, Yes Boss, opposite Juhi Chawla. Upon release, the film performed moderately well at the box-office. His final release of the year was Yash Chopra’s blockbuster musical romance, Dil to Pagal Hai.

It garnered him another nomination for the Filmfare Best Actor Award. Khan termed Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham as “a turning point in his career”.
In December 2001, while filming a special appearance for Krishna Vamsi’s Shakti: The Power, Khan suffered a spine injury while doing one of the action sequences. He flew to Lucknow a week later for a series of stage shows which led to further aggravation of his condition. By the time he returned to Mumbai, Khan was experiencing severe pain. He was subsequently diagnosed with a prolapsed disc between vertebrae six and seven. Khan is one of the few celebrities worldwide to have had the problem. Hoping to avoid surgery in a bid to not delay his pending projects, and based on his former experience with a failed knee surgery three years earlier, Khan tried multiple alternative therapies from homoeopathy to Reiki but nothing offered a permanent solution. He eventually shot Devdas (2002) and Chalte Chalte (2003) in acute pain and continued with the shoot for Kal Ho Na Ha (2003) until the day he left for London. He reached the point where he had doctors and ambulances on standby on the sets.

Working on this film put us in touch with that emotion. After the release of the film, Khan took a six months break from acting. He explained that during his break, he “just enjoyed the feeling of being sad”.
Khan also starred alongside Madhuri Dixit and Salman Khan in the family-drama Hum Tumhare Hain Sanam. The film, which took six years to make, due to unending production problems, emerged as an average grosser at the box office.

By the beginning of 2003, Khan’s condition severely worsened. The slipped disc was eventually touching his nerves which put pressure on his legs and neck. It also presented the risk of paralysis of his arms. In February, Khan was told by doctors that he had to undergo an urgent Anterior Cervical Discectomy. The main concern was the possibility of irreparable nerve damage during surgery which would have left him with a permanent weak left side. During his acceptance speech for the Filmfare Best Actor award he received for his performance in Devdas (2002), Khan stated that emotionally he was a bit shaken as he was going in for a surgery that was described by him as a “not a very good thing to go in for. ”The surgery took place on February 24 in Wellington Hospital in London and lasted for one hour – a titanium disc was inserted in his spine and he was discharged after two days.
Khan faced several post-operative problems including hoarseness, weakness, pain and high risk of infection. In an interview with Rediff four months after the surgery, he said “I am supposed to be on the road to recovery. For a year, I have to take things easy. I have my good and bad moments. Mornings aren’t good. Till about 2 pm, I feel a lot of pain. When I bend down or play with my kids, I get some pain in the neck (…) For now I have to go to London every month for a checkup. ” He resumed shooting Kal Ho Na Ha (2003) and Main Hoon Na (2004) in June of the same year however, the songs sequences in those films had to be postponed to late October. The injury resulted in Khan cutting down noticeably on work and reducing his number of films per year.

The Hindu noted, “His enthusiasm unbounded, his energy unbridled, Shah Rukh is in form here. And as a guy with a few days to live and a life to spend in a moment, he looks for your sympathy. He reduces many to tears. And with each tear he rises a rank higher in the echelons of actors”.

The select few who have seen the 45-seat theater (and alas I am not one of them) can’t stop raving about the sound system and the plush interiors. A source reveals that “The theater was SRK’s idea and Gauri took special interest in making it a reality. The seats recline back with the press of a button and are super-comfortable. There’s also a popcorn machine that serves fresh refreshments.” I guess that’s where trials (and tribulations) of “My Name is Khan” will be held next month. Till then the kids are having a blast, Aryaan and Suhana have been watching action and animation films in the theater.
Disney collaborated with India’s Yash Raj Films Studios – known for its mushy Bollywood romances – to produce a series of computer-animated films for Indian audiences.
2004 was a critically and commercially successful year for Khan. He produced and starred in Farah Khan’s directorial debut, the action comedy Main Hoon Na alongside Suniel Shetty, Sushmita Sen, Kirron Kher, Amrita Rao and Zayed Khan. Dealing with a fictionalized account of the India–Pakistan relations, the film emerged as a major commercial success. He then played an Indian Air Force pilot, Squadron Leader Veer Pratap Singh in Yash Chopra’s love saga Veer-Zaara alongside Rani Mukerji and Preity Zinta. The film was the biggest hit of 2004 in both India and overseas, with a worldwide gross of over INR 940 million and was screened at the 55th Berlin Film Festival to critical appreciation. Veer-Zaara, which narrated the love story of Singh and a Pakistani woman, Zaara Haayat Khan (Zinta) fetched Khan appreciation with Rama Sharma from The Tribune writing, “Shah Rukh Khan here scales the heights of sensitivity, rising above the mundane. His expressions are mature and reach out to touch the heart of the common man.”
In 2004, Khan took over his old production company Dreamz Unlimited and transformed it into Red Chillies Entertainment with his wife Gauri also serving as a producer. In the same year he produced and starred in Main Hoon Na, another hit, which was directed by his friend and well-known choreographer Farah Khan. The following year, he produced and starred in the fantasy film Paheli, which did poorly. It was, however, India’s official entry to the Academy Awards for consideration for Best Foreign Language Film, but it did not pass the final selection. Also in 2005, Khan co-produced the supernatural horror film Kaal with Karan Johar, and performed an item number for the film with Malaika Arora Khan. Kaal was moderately successful at the box office. His company has further gone on to produce Om Shanti Om (2007) which emerged as India’s highest grossing production ever up to that point, Billu (2009), Always Kabhi Kabhi (2011) and Ra.One as well as his forthcoming releases Don 2: The Chase Continues and Karan Johar’s Student Of The Year.

In December 2004, Khan received wide critical acclaim for his performance in Ashutosh Gowariker’s social drama, Swades. Also featuring Gayatri Joshi, Swades narrated the story of a NASA scientist who returns to India to get in touch with his roots. Several film critics consider Khan’s performance in the film to be his best till date. Critic Jitesh Pillai analyzed, “Ultimately your heart leaps out to the magical Shah Rukh Khan, who unarguably gives his career’s finest performance. Shorn of any artifice or nervous energy, his anguish is tangible. He inhabits Mohan Bharghava with consummate ease, you can feel the earnestness of his intentions, the wetness of his tears”. Filmfare included his performance in the 2010 issue of the “Top 80 Iconic Performances”. He was nominated for the Filmfare Best Actor Award for all three of his releases in 2004, and eventually won the award for Swades. The film itself was featured on Rediff’s list of the 10 Best Bollywood Movies of the Decade.
Khan participated in a concert tour titled Temptations 2004 which was the most successful Bollywood concert at the time. Khan performed alongside Saif Ali Khan, Rani Mukerji, Preity Zinta, Arjun Rampal and Priyanka Chopra in nineteen stage shows across the globe. He sang, danced and performed in skits.
His only release in 2005, Paheli opposite Rani Mukerji, was screened at the Sundance Film Festival and was chosen as India’s official entry to the Oscars for the 79th Academy Awards. Despite flopping at the box-office, Paheli was critically acclaimed, as was Khan’s performance, which Raja Sen called ” A top-notch performance, [That] justifies his supremacy in the film world”. The following year, Khan collaborated with Karan Johar for the third time for the adult-drama, Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna. With an ensemble cast including Amitabh Bachchan, Preity Zinta, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji and Kirron Kher, the film told the story of two unhappily married couples in New York, which results in an extramarital affair. Khan played the role of Dev Saran, a bitter and cynical former football player, who is insecure of his wife’s (Zinta) successful career as a fashion magazine editor. The film received polarizing reviews from film critics but emerged as a major commercial success; emerging as India’s biggest grosser in the overseas market, with earnings of over INR 1.13 billion worldwide.
His subsequently essayed the titular role in the action thriller, Don, a remake of the 1978 film of the same name. The film as well as Khan received mixed comments from film critics. His performance was extensively compared to that of Amitabh Bachchan, the actor in the original. Taran Adarsh noted that Khan “does very well as Don. He enacts the evil character with flourish. But he fails to carry off the other role [Vijay] with conviction. It looks made up, it doesn’t come natural to him at all. While Derek Elley of Variety argued that “it’s hard to accept him (Khan) as the title character” and that “Khan is far more convincing as Vijay, playing up to his rom-com fanbase with plenty of boyish humor. The film became the fifth-highest grossing film of the year in India and the highest grossing film of the year in the overseas market. It grossed a total of INR 1.04 billion worldwide. Both Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna and Don earned him Best Actor nominations at the Filmfare, while the latter earned him a Best Actor nomination at the Asian Film Awards.
In 2005, Nasreen Munni Kabir produced a two-part documentary on Khan, titled The Inner and Outer World of Shah Rukh Khan. Featuring his 2004 Temptations concert tour, the film contrasted Khan’s inner world of family and daily life with the outer world of his work. The book Still Reading Khan, which details his family life, was released in 2006. Another book by Anupama Chopra, “King of Bollywood: Shahrukh Khan and the seductive world of Indian cinema”, was released in 2007. This book described the world of Bollywood through Khan’s life.

In 2007, Khan featured in Yash Raj Films’ Chak De! India, a semi-fictional account of the Indian women’s national hockey team. Khan stated that he accepted the role of Kabir Khan, the captain of the team, because he liked “the thought of a film whose plot is about women”. Additionally, he was a hockey player during his college days and aspired to be a professional hockey player before he suffered a back injury. Khan noted that while this background helped him during the filming, he also felt that the experience of playing again after a long time was “very difficult and different”. Khan tore a hamstring three days before the filming was over. Chak De!India was a major critical and commercial success in India and abroad. Earning over INR 1.03 billion worldwide, Chak De! India became the third-highest grossing film of 2007 in India and won Khan yet another Filmfare Award for Best Actor. Rajeev Masand from CNN-IBN wrote about his performance, “For the first time since Swades, Shah Rukh plays a role without any of his typical trappings, without any of his trademark quirks. He sinks his teeth into the part of the determined coach and comes up with such a terrific performance. He’s hopeful at times and despondent at others, he’s humorous at times, and stern at others. He plays Kabir Khan like a real flesh-and-blood human being. Filmfare also included his performance in the 2010 issue of the “Top 80 Iconic Performances”.
In the same year, Khan starred in Farah Khan’s second film, Om Shanti Om alongside Deepika Padukone, Shreyas Talpade and Arjun Rampal.

His performance was generally well received by critics; Khalid Mohammed from Hindustan Times wrote, The enterprise belongs to Shah Rukh Khan, who tackles comedy, high drama and action with his signature style – spontaneous and intuitively intelligent. The film emerged as the year’s highest grossing motion picture in India and the overseas market with a worldwide gross of over INR1.48 billion. Om Shanti Om earned him another nomination for Best Actor at the Filmfare ceremony.
Shah Rukh along with Amitabh Bachchan, Aishwarya Rai and Salman Khan also has his statue at the world famous wax museum Madame Tussauds in the United Kingdom which was set up in 2007.

Khan played Surinder Sahni, a shy man with a low self-esteem, whose love for his accidental wife (Sharma), causes him to transform himself into the loud and fun-loving alter-ego of Raj. The film received mixed reviews from film critics, but was declared a blockbuster at the box-office. His performance was appreciated by critics, with Rachel Saltz of The New York Times writing, “The Surinder/Raj dual role seems tailor-made (probably was) for Mr. Khan, who gets to show off his twin talents: he suffers nobly and entertains with panache. It earned him yet another nomination for Best Actor at the Filmfare ceremony. In December of the same year, Khan suffered a serious shoulder injury while filming for a cameo role in Mudassar Aziz’s Dulha Mil Gaya. He subsequently underwent extensive physiotherapy sessions at the time, but due to immense pain that left him almost immobile, he had to undergo an arthroscopic surgery in February 2009.

Based on a true story, and set against the backdrop of perceptions on Islam, post the September 11 attacks, the film featured Khan as Rizwan Khan, a Muslim man suffering from mild-Asperger syndrome who sets out on a journey across America to meet the country’s President. Khan spent several months researching by reading books, watching videos and talking to people affected with the disorder in an effort to portray the character of Rizwan Khan. In an interview with Hindustan Times he said, “Whenever you’re dealing with a disorder or a near atypical situation, the first thought is that the sort of parameters you have to set that in no which way you are derogatory or deriding the disorder. The second part is you have to come as close to reality in depicting that characterization and so one had to study a lot and one does get worried Upon release, My Name is Khan received positive reviews from critics and became the highest-grossing Bollywood film of all-time in the overseas market. Khan’s performance in the film was appreciated by most critics with Jay Wesissberg from Variety reviewing, “Khan uses the mannerisms associated with Asperger’s – averted eyes, springy steps, stuttered repetitions of memorized texts – yet captures the personality beneath the condition in a standout performance sure to receive the Autism Society’s gold seal of approval.
