Shah Rukh Khan has become the only Indian to be named in an international list of 50 greatest actors of all time by a prominent British magazine.
The 57-year-old actor is included in Empire magazine's list which also recognises Hollywood giants like Denzel Washington, Tom Hanks, Marlon Brando, Meryl Streep, Jack Nicholson and many others.
In the accompanying short profile, Empire, a well known magazine to cinephiles, said Khan has a career that has now spanned four decades of 'near unbroken hits, and a fanbase of pretty much billions'.
'You don't do that without outrageous amounts of charisma and absolute mastery of your craft. Comfortable in almost every genre going, there's pretty much nothing he can't do,' Empire added.
From his extensive filmography, Empire highlighted Khan's notable characters from four movies: Sanjay Leela Bhansali's Devdas; Karan Johar's My Name Is Khan and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai; Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades.
His dialogue from the 2012 movie Jab Tak Hai Jaan -- 'Zindagi toh har roz jaan leti hai, Bomb toh sirf ek baar lega (Every day life kills us a little. A bomb will kill you only once)' -- has been recognised as the 'iconic line' of his career.
SRK will be next seen in the actioner Pathaan, set to be released worldwide on January 25. Directed by Siddharth Anand, the movie also stars John Abraham and Deepika Padukone.
He will also star in two more movies -- Atlee's action-entertainer Jawan and Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki.
Jawan, a pan-India project, is set to come out on June 2 while Dunki, also starring Taapsee Pannu, will release in December 2023.
