‘You are always too kind my friend. Let us meet up sooner than soon!! Bless you,’ Shah Rukh tweeted.

For the unversed, on Thursday, Paulo Coelho had retweeted a tweet that showed SRK greeting his fans gathered outside his residence Mannat and 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”).’

Paulo Coelho had previously also praised the actor for his performance in ‘My Name is Khan’. He had mentioned, ‘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 the movie was excellent, but SRK deserved an Oscar if Hollywood was not manipulated it. He kindly offered to send the other titles—as you probably guess, it is not easy to find them in Switzerland.’

‘Pathaan’, which also stars Deepika Padukone and John Abraham in lead roles, has breached the Rs 700 crore mark worldwide. The Siddharth Anand directorial marks Shah Rukh Khan’s comeback to the big screen after a gap of four years.
