Author Paulo Coelho showers praise on 'Pathaan' star Shah Rukh Khan; calls him 'king, legend, friend but above all great actor' - See post

Shah Rukh Khan is currently on cloud nine, following the super success of his latest release, 'Pathaan'. Author Paulo Coelho recently joined the bandwagon of celebrities who have been showering praise on the superstar.

Taking to his Twitter handle, the author gave a shout out to the 'Pathaan' star. He wrote, 'King. Legend . Friend. But above all GREAT ACTOR ( for those who don’t know him in the West, I strongly suggest “My name is Khan- and I am not a terrorist”).'

As soon as he shared the tweet, likes and comments poured in from all sides. While one fan wrote, 'Wooww… and what a way to introduce to those who don’t know him', another one added, 'Paulo thank you man you always stand by our king srk lots and lots of love'.

In 2017, Paulo had congratulated SRK on the seventh anniversary of the movie 'My Name Is Khan'. He had also shared a screenshot of his Facebook post which had stated, 'His first (and only) movie that I watched (this year, even if it was released in 2008) was My Name is Khan. And not only was the movie excellent, but SRK deserved an Oscar if Hollywood was not manipulated. He kindly offered to send the other titles - as you probably guess, it is not easy to find them in Switzerland."

Replying back to the author, SRK wrote, 'Thank u so much. My next journey is to try and meet u in person. Love and health to u.'

On the work front, after the super success of 'Pathaan', Shah Rukh will next be seen in Atlee's 'Jawan' which also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi and Sanya Malhotra. Apart from this, he is also a part of Rajkumar Hirani's 'Dunki' with Taapsee Pannu.
