Dubai to honor Shah Rukh Khan with Hollwood style ‘Walk of Fame’ star

Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has been announced to receive Hollywood style ‘Walk of Fame’ star, a new project launched by Emaar. The announcement about the actor's accolade was made on the official Twitter account of the ‘Dubai Stars’ project.

Due to open in October 2019 along the Shaikh Mohammad Bin Rashid Boulevard in Downtown Dubai, the Dubai Stars’ Walk of Fame is expected to showcase more than 10,000 stars on the sidewalk.

The concept of Dubai Stars is much like Hollywood’s Walk of Fame, which features a wide variety of celebrities who made a mark in their respective fields worldwide.

SRK is the second celebrity who has been selected to receive the accolade. Earlier this year, it was announced that Lebanese fashion designer Elie Saab will also get a Dubai Star.
