Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan's film Jawan has done extremely good business at the box office in the first two days of its release. And with the kind of craze associated with the film, it is certainly going to break several box office records in the next few days. The blockbuster opening of the film has prompted several reactions not only from fans but also people like Anand Mahindra. The business tycoon has declared Shah Rukh Khan as India's 'natural resource'.
A day after the film's release Mahindra took to X, formerly Twitter to write, "All countries guard their natural mineral resources and mine them and usually export them to earn forex. Maybe it’s time to declare @iamsrk a Natural Resource." He also shared a video of the stunning illumination of the iconic Burj Khalifa in Dubai with the 'Jawan' trailer.
The event in Dubai not only highlighted SRK's strong fanbase in the Middle East, but was also a testimony to Bollywood's global reach.
The tweet by Mahindra pointed towards the popularity of Shah Rukh Khan and his ability to bring people together.
"Many actors will come, and many will succeed but perhaps, SRK is the last of the stars. He has taken stardom to the next level. I have not watched many of his movies but the way he conducts himself is appreciable," commented one user on the post.
"Couldn’t agree more. He is a rare earth natural resource of the precious kinds," wrote another user.
"National Resource as well as the National Treasure," commented a third.
"Wonder how a person feels when getting such a huge reception from the crowd. Must be very pleasing and great," wrote a fourth.
