At the time of their separate theatrical premieres, his blockbuster flicks My Name Is Khan and Kabhi Khushi Kabhie Gham broke records as the highest-grossing Indian film in the UK.

    Currently, he is the head of Dharma Productions, one of India's leading companies for motion pictures. His company produced Brahmastra Part One: Shiva, Sooryavanshi, Baahubhali, Yeh Jawaani Hai Deewani, and Kabhi Alvida Naa Kehna, among other movies. His upcoming movie, Rocky aur Rani Kii Prem Kahaani, starring British actress Alia Bhatt and actor Ranveer Singh, will honour his 25th year in the international entertainment business. It will be released this summer on July 28 in UK theatres and internationally.
