Imagine this: A towering testament to a Bollywood icon, forever etched into the skyline! That’s exactly what’s happening in Dubai, where a commercial tower is being named after none other than Shah Rukh Khan. The actor himself took to social media to express his heartfelt gratitude for this incredible honor.
The tower, aptly named “Shahrukhz,” is scheduled for completion by 2029. And it’s not just a building; it’s a statement. At the entrance, a statue of Shah Rukh Khan will greet visitors, striking his iconic pose.
In a post on his X handle, Shah Rukh Khan shared his feelings, saying he was deeply touched to have his name become a permanent part of Dubai’s cityscape. He emphasized Dubai’s significance as a city that celebrates dreams and ambition.
He further noted that “Shahrukhz” by Danube represents the power of belief and hard work. He expressed his honor in being associated with Danube Properties, a brand that shares his aspirations and commitment to excellence.
But here’s where it gets interesting: This isn’t just a building; it’s a symbol. It represents the global reach and impact of Bollywood and its biggest stars.
And speaking of stars, Shah Rukh Khan’s next project is the film “King.” Directed by Siddharth Anand, who previously worked with Shah Rukh on the hit movie “Pathaan” in 2023, “King” is set to release in 2026. The film is produced by Red Chillies Entertainment and Marflix Pictures and will also star Deepika Padukone and Suhana Khan.
