Shah Rukh Khan Cheers As KKR Takes On RR In IPL 2024; Pathaan Director Siddharth Anand Joins Him

IPL 2024: Shah Rukh Khan visited Kolkata’s Eden Gardens on Tuesday to cheer for Kolkata Knight Riders in a match against Rajasthan Royals. In a photo that surfaced on social media, King Khan was seen standing at the corporate box of the stadium. He sported a white t-shirt with black goggles, tied his hair into a small ponytail and looked dapper as always.

Shah Rukh Khan was also accompanied by filmmaker Siddharth Anand. The two collaborated for Pathaan in 2023, which marked SRK’s comeback to the big screen after his 2018 movie Zero. Pathaan also starred Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in the lead. The film received an overwhelming response from all and earned over Rs 1000 crores at the box office.

Earlier today, another video of the Bollywood superstar surfaced on social media in which he was heard giving the KKR players a motivational speech. “It’s always good to see when we’re playing like a unit. and my request to everybody — senior players and the international players, you have a lot of young kids in the team, take them along. Let them know about your experience. Make sure they grow into great cricketers like what the seniors are and the international players are. All the young kids, thank you so much,” he said.

Meanwhile, on the work front, Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani’s Dunki with Taapsee Pannu and Vicky Kaushal. Next, SRK will be seen in Pathaan 2. Recently, Peeping Moon reported that Shah Rukh Khan is likely to begin shooting for Pathaan 2 by the year’s end and unlike the first Pathaan film, the sequel will not be directed by Siddharth Anand. Besides this, SRK also has Tiger Vs Pathaan with Salman Khan in his pipeline.
