Mumbai, Aug 1: Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is set to bag his first National Award, as Best Actor for his film ‘Jawan’.
It was a tie as Vikrant Massey too won the Best Actor award for his movie '12th Fail".
The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting informed it on Friday.
SRK started his journey as a theatre actor, and over the period of time worked in television when the medium was making in-roads in India. He later transitioned to cinema making him the most successful actor to have transitioned from television to cinema.
He made his debut with ‘Deewana’, and went on to do anti-hero roles in ‘Baazigar’ and ‘Darr’ before he established himself as the eternal King of Romance with modern Hindi classic ‘Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge’.
In the past couple of years, the actor seems to have changed his trajectory, and is concentrating more on the action genre considering his recent releases of ‘Pathaan’ and ‘Jawan’.
Earlier, SRK was reported to have suffered an injury to his muscles on the sets of his upcoming film ‘King’.
The actor, who was last seen in ‘Dunki’, was rushed to the USA for treatment. He left the shoot of ‘King’ mid-way, and is reported to have taken a month-long break from the film’s shoot.
