While Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is set to receive the prestigious Pardo alla Carriera award at the Locarno Film Festival on Piazza Grande on August 10, recently, the global icon was honored with customised gold coins by Paris' Grevin Museum. 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.
This recognition adds to Shah Rukh Khan's extensive list of accolades, as he is already immortalised in wax at various museums worldwide, including those in the US, UK, Germany, France, Czech Republic, Thailand, India, Singapore, and Australia.
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.
