Shah Rukh Khan is all set to make a comeback to the big screen after a long wait of four years. He was last seen in Anand L Rai's Zero, which tanked at the box office just like his previous few films including Fan and Jab Harry Met Sejal.

All set to make a comeback as a lead actor, Shah Rukh Khan - who recently said he wants to do a film like Leon: The Professional and portray the character of an 'older, very intense and quiet guy' - will be seen in these upcoming movies that we just cannot wait for.
1. Pathaan
The movie which is already courting controversy for its song Besharam Rang sees Deepika wearing a saffron-coloured bikini is all set to be released on Jan 25. Also starring John Abraham, the action-thriller has been directed by Manish Sharma. Pathaan reportedly revolves around a RAW Agent codenamed Pathaan, who takes on an ominous villain who is hell-bent on ripping apart India's security apparatus.
2. Jawan
For this one, Shah Rukh Khan is collaborating with South filmmaker Atlee. The movie is all set for a massive pan-India release in five languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Malayalam, Telugu, and Kannada on June 2, 2023. Apart from SRK, the movie stars Vijay Sethupathi as the lead antagonist, Nayanthara as female lead and Thalapthy Vijay in a special appearance.
3. Dunki
Two great stars - Shah Rukh Khan and Rajkumar Hirani - are uniting for Dunki and fans have quite high expectations from this one. The movie will star Taapsee Pannu opposite SRK. While the makers have kept details about the film under wraps, the grapevine suggests the film is based on donkey flight, a term given to the means by which many people exploit immigration loopholes in order to enter the United Kingdom through the back door via other European countries.
