"Thank you for honouring me with the National Award. Thanks to the jury, the I&B ministry... Iss samman ke liye Bharat Sarkar ka dhanyawaad. Overwhelmed with the love showered upon me. Half a hug to everyone today," he wrote in the post.

The 2024 action-drama features Shah Rukh in a double role as father and son alongside Nayanthara, Deepika Padukone, Vijay Sethupathi, Sanya Malhotra, Priyamani, and others.

The film tells the story of Azad, a jailer of an all-female prison, who works with the women inmates against the corrupt system.

On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan will be next seen in Siddharth Anand's 'King.' While Suhana Khan, Abhishek Bachchan and Deepika Padukone are rumoured to be a part of the film, an official cast announcement is yet to be made. (ANI)
