Hollywood actor and America’s Got Talent host Terry Crews has offered high praise for Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan, describing the Jawan actor as a “super international star” whose global reach rivals that of Hollywood A-listers and world-renowned sports icons. In a recent interview, Crews said Shah Rukh’s influence and brand recognition extend far beyond the Indian film industry, drawing comparisons with international figures like Tom Cruise and Cristiano Ronaldo.
In a conversation with ETimes, Crews acknowledged both his admiration for Indian cinema and his desire to one day work in a Bollywood production. He emphasised the cultural appeal of Bollywood’s music and dance traditions, which he feels are distinct from typical American films.
He said, “Everybody around the globe wants what India has simply because it really satisfies a need in so many ways. I’m a big fan of music and dance. In fact, I am a dancer first. When you look at the culture and the way they’ve incorporated big musical performances into the movies, you don’t get that in America. It comes along once in a blue moon, like a Wicked. When I watch these major stars dancing to the amazing music, I miss it. It reminds me of the old Hollywood.”
The Brooklyn Nine-Nine actor further added, “I would love to dance, just like the stars in Bollywood. I want to mention how Shah Rukh Khan has become this super international star. I haven’t met him yet, but I’m looking forward to that. To me, he is a true example of Tom Cruise-level Indian talent that has taken over the world. His brand and his name are like those of Cristiano Ronaldo. It’s enormous.”
Speaking of the professional front, Shah Rukh Khan is currently preparing for the release of King, directed by Siddharth Anand and featuring his daughter Suhana Khan alongside Deepika Padukone, Jaideep Ahlawat and Abhishek Bachchan. The film is scheduled to hit theatres in 2026.
