In a groundbreaking moment at the Indian box office, Shah Rukh Khan has etched his name in the annals of Hindi cinema history with his latest release, 'Jawan.' The film has emerged as the highest-grossing Hindi film of all time, surpassing the collections of blockbusters like 'Bahubali 2,' 'Pathaan,' and 'Gadar 2.'

Shah Rukh Khan's remarkable achievement doesn't end there.

This historic feat signifies Shah Rukh Khan's triumphant return to the silver screen with unparalleled force, effectively shattering box office records with 'Pathaan' and 'Jawan.'
