Bollywood’s megastar Shah Rukh Khan, who will next be seen in ‘Jawan’, offered prayers at the holy shrine of Mata Vaishno Devi in Jammu and Kashmir. A video, which has gone viral online, shows the superstar dressed in a hooded blue jacket with his face fully covered, PTI reported.
As per the officials, the 57-year-old actor reached the shrine on Tuesday night and left immediately after offering prayers. “The superstar reached base camp Katra on Tuesday evening and used the new Tarakote route to reach the shrine around 11.40 pm,” an official said.
This is the actor’s second visit to the shrine in the last nine months. He last visited the holy temple in December 2022, over a month before the release of his blockbuster hit movie ‘Pathaan’.
The trailer for ‘Jawan’ is set to release on August 31. The film will hit the theatres worldwide on September 7, 2023, in Hindi, Tamil and Telugu. The film also stars Nayanthara, Vijay Sethupathi, Priyamani and Sanya Malhotra, while Deepika Padukone will be making a special appearance.
