Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has taken his global appeal to new heights by appearing an unexpected international advertisement.
Here, he shared screen space with famous celebrities like Megan Fox, Jason Statham, and Formula 1 champion Lewis Hamilton.
This global collaboration was for Etisalat, a UAE-based telecommunications brand. With various celebrities, the ad demonstrates how technology helps people accomplish more and highlights the brand’s forward-thinking approach.

Interestingly, the advertised product does not have any presence in India, which highlights his global rather than national appeal. In particular, it is indicative of his singular fame in the Middle East, where Bollywood is massively popular.
The ad has sparked a wave of appreciation across social media, with many fans expressing their excitement and praising his performance.
“2024 unexpected collab,” wrote one fan.
“Mega superstar SRK!” another praised, while a third enthusiastic fan added, “King for a reason.”
“Did anyone [notice] the music stops at SRK entry?” another asked.
