This made him the first Indian actor to receive such an honor there.
Grevin Glasse of Paris issued the coins featuring the actor's picture and his name to celebrate the Jawan star.

The Grevin Museum, located on the Grands Boulevards in Paris, is renowned for its wax statues of celebrities.
In addition to this unique honor, Shah Rukh Khan will also receive the prestigious Pardo alla Carriera at the 77th edition of the Locarno Film Festival.
