Shah Rukh Khan, commonly referred to as the “King of Bollywood,” has led the Indian film and entertainment business for more than three decades. Before he stepped into movies, the actor began by performing small time roles in TV serials. His debut film, Deewana, was an instant smash. While Deewana was his first theatrical release, he reportedly shot for Dil Ashna Hai before that, in which he had a longer cameo. Blockbuster films like Baazigar and Darr helped SRK breakthrough in his second year, after which the actor was unstoppable.
With up to 16 of them in his 62 films, Shah Rukh Khan has had the most “Bumper” box office openings during the 1990s. A superstar always manages to get a bumper opening. To put things in context, War, starring Hrithik Roshan and Tiger Shroff, had the last big opening in Bollywood in 2019.

With his films selling more than 10 crore tickets in the year 1995, Shah Rukh Khan established himself as the highest-grossing actor in a single year during the 1990s. This record still remains today. The gross amount might reach Rs. 3000 cr. if the ticket prices were updated to reflect current prices and ticket taxes were taken into account.
