This weekend has been a double blast for Bollywood fans. On one hand, people are still in the Diwali excitement, on the other hand it is also the birthday of the superstar that every Bollywood fan loves – Shahrukh Khan. 'Jawaan' star King Khan is celebrating his 59th birthday on November 2.
The birthday of Bollywood's King Khan falls on Diwali, which reminds of another big record of Shahrukh. Remember the atmosphere of this box office clash on Friday. When 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' and 'Singham Again' fixed their release date together, everyone who has a grip on the business of Bollywood remembered one thing.
Birthday of King Khan of Bollywood
For the last 17 years, no Bollywood film released on the occasion of Diwali has become the biggest film of the year. Trade experts do not see any point in the Diwali clash of two big films like 'Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3' and 'Singham Again'. But do you know that Shahrukh's record on the occasion of Diwali in Bollywood is different from any other superstar. Let us tell you how…
Shahrukh is giving a lot of happiness to people on Diwali.
17 years ago, when a film released on the occasion of Diwali became the highest grossing film of the year, it was Shahrukh Khan's film. The year was 2007 and the film was Shahrukh Khan's 'Om Shanti Om'. Since then there has never been a highest grossing film on Diwali in Bollywood.
Diwali's blockbuster success with Shah Rukh is actually more than 30 years old
The smash success of Diwali with Shahrukh is actually more than 30 years old. In 1993, the Diwali combination with Shahrukh was seen in theaters for the first time. After this, the most iconic hit of Shahrukh's career 'Baazigar' was released in theatres. The film is still one of the biggest hits to be released on Diwali. 'Baazigar' was the fourth biggest film of that year.
Shahrukh number 1 on Diwali
After 'Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge', 3 more films of Shahrukh were released on Diwali and became the highest grossing films of the year. In 1998, she did this feat with Karan Johar in his film 'Kuch Kuch Hota Hai'.
In 2004, Yash Chopra's iconic love story 'Veer Zaara' released on Diwali.
In 2004, Yash Chopra's iconic love story 'Veer Zaara' released on Diwali. The love story of Shahrukh and Preity Zinta created such a magic on people that it continues even today. Even today, when 'Veer Zara' is released in theaters, it gets the same amount of love from the people. And in 2007, Shahrukh's magic was once again seen at the box office on Diwali in 'Om Shanti Om'.
