To take part in the Joy Forum, a Saudi film industry gathering, Shah Rukh Khan departed for Riyadh. Images and videos of him performing on stage alongside Jean-Claude van Damme, Jason Momoa, and Jackie Chan have gone viral. Watch the video here.

Even though actor Shah Rukh Khan may not have signed a movie since the disastrous Zero at the box office, he is nonetheless quite busy. Online images have emerged of Shah Rukh posing with celebrities like Jackie Chan and Jason Momoa as well as retired martial arts expert and Belgian legend Jean-Claude van Damme from Riyadh.

 I was ecstatic to finally meet my heroes. @joyforumksa @jackiechan @jcvd In an online video that fans have posted, Shah Rukh is heard telling Jason that his 6-year-old son AbRam is an avid fan of Aquaman and thanking the presenters for allowing him to meet his heroes, Chan and van Damme.

Zero, which also starred Anushka Sharma and Katrina Kaif, had Shah Rukh as a dwarf. Shah Rukh hasn’t signed a movie since last December. It was an original work by SRK.

Shah Rukh has not signed a new movie since Zero’s failure, which has affected him more than his prior setbacks. Speaking about it in April, he had declared that this time he would wait longer to make a decision, although in the past he would do so after a gap of two to three months. “I didn’t feel like doing it this time. This time, I resolved to set aside time to read books, see movies, and listen to screenplays. My children are also completing their time in college. While Suhana is still enrolled in college, Aryan should graduate in a year. In an interview with CRI Hindi in China, he stated, “I want to spend more time with my family.”

His decision to take a lengthy sabbatical, meanwhile, did not disappoint everyone, with wife Gauri Khan topping the list. She had said to Zoom TV, “I believe it was necessary,” in reference to it. Above all, I believe it’s about time he took this break, and I’m grateful that I can travel while he’s at home. Furthermore, he looks after AbRam well. I am therefore ecstatic. Therefore, he is there for the child if I am not. It works for me. In the interview, she declared, “I think it’s a great, great idea.” “I believe he will be moving around in a very short while.”
