Shah Rukh Khan recently shared his admiration for Jackie Chan at the Locarno Film Festival in Switzerland. He revealed that Jackie Chan is one of his favorite actors and has been a significant inspiration to him.

Shah Rukh Khan also recalled an earlier plan with Jackie Chan to open a Chinese restaurant together. He mentioned, "Jackie Chan promised to open a Chinese restaurant with me, but it hasn't happened yet." Jackie Chan, please make it happen!" Khan emphasized Jackie Chan’s special place among his favorite actors, alongside legends like Michael J. Fox, Al Pacino, and Robert De Niro.
