Dubai names commercial tower ‘Shahrukhz’ after Shah Rukh Khan

Bollywood actor Shah Rukh Khan on Saturday thanked Dubai-based Danube Properties for naming a commercial tower after him. The project, titled Shahrukhz, is scheduled for completion in 2029 and will include a statue of the actor at the entrance in his signature pose.

Shah Rukh shared the announcement on X, writing that he was “humbled” to see his name become an “integral part of the cityscape”. He said, “It is humbling and deeply touching to have a landmark in Dubai carry my name and to be an integral part of the cityscape forever. Dubai has always been a special place for me — a city that celebrates dreams, ambition, and possibility.”
