Fans are eagerly anticipating Khan's acceptance speech at the Locarno Film Festival, where he is expected to share insights into his illustrious career and future endeavors.

The Locarno Film Festival, which was founded in 1946 and specializes in auteur film, is regarded as one of the oldest film festivals worldwide. There will be 225 films in this year's edition, including an astounding 104 world premieres and 15 debut pictures, making it a true cinematic festival. Without a doubt, Khan's attendance at the festival gives it even more star power.

He maintained his status as one of the most bankable performers in the business by following up this success with highly regarded roles in 'Jawan' and 'Dunki'.
