Establishing himself as a successful Indian actor, film producer, television host, philanthropist and an entrepreneur who has appeared in more than 80 Bollywood films and earned numerous accolades, Shah Rukh Khan owns Red Chillies Entertainment, Redchillies Vfx and colour, a leading film studio along with a cutting edge Vfx studio in India.
