Shah Rukh Khan's stardom in overseas markets is huge and unmatched by other Bollywood actors. SRK has given the most number of hits, blockbusters, and record openings in overseas for any Indian superstar. Even though a few of his last films haven't done huge business, the popularity of the superstar hasn't reduced a bit.
Shah Rukh Khan's latest release, Pathaan, has brought him back, and how. Pathaan has set a new record for opening in the overseas market, and that too on a non-holiday and mid-week release. Pathaan is the fastest Bollywood film to cross $10 million, $15 million, $20 million, and $25 million in overseas markets.
