For an Indian movie star to sit above some of the biggest names in Hollywood and global pop culture is quite the milestone.
Adding to this, So, where did that extraordinary jump come from? Hurun points to two major pillars: Red Chillies Entertainment, Shah Rukh Khan’s production banner, and his ownership stake in the Kolkata Knight Riders through Knight Riders Sports.
