In a nod to superstar Shah Rukh Khan, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences recently shared a memorable clip from his 2007 film 'Om Shanti Om'.

The Academy took to Instagram to post a scene featuring Khan's widely loved monologue from the film.

Captioning the video, they wrote, "One thing about destiny... it doesn't miss. Film: OM SHANTI OM (2007)Directed by Farah Khan. Written by Farah Khan, Mushtaq Shiekh and Mayur Puri. Starring Shah Rukh Khan, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Rampal, Shreyas Talpade and Kirron Kher".

Directed by Farah Khan, 'Om Shanti Om' remains one of the most celebrated commercial Hindi films of its time.

Blending romance, reincarnation and self-aware humour, the film follows Om, a junior artist in the 1970s who is reborn decades later to avenge his tragic past and lost love. Shah Rukh Khan played a dual role, while the film also marked the Bollywood debut of Deepika Padukone.

The film's ensemble cast included Arjun Rampal, Shreyas Talpade, and Kirron Kher in prominent roles.

Fans of the 'DDLJ' actor chimed in the comments section soon after the post was shared by the Academy.

One fan wrote, "My favourite of all time."

Another SRKian wrote, "When The Academy acknowledges you, the world listens. Shah Rukh Khan isn't just a superstar, he's a global phenomenon."

Meanwhile, SRK is gearing up for his upcoming film 'King.' Directed by Siddharth Anand, the film is slated for a theatrical release on December 24, 2026, positioning it as a major Christmas release.

The makers recently unveiled fresh visuals from 'King', showing Shah Rukh Khan in a bold and intense avatar, hinting at a high-action narrative. The film also features Abhishek Bachchan, Deepika Padukone, Saurabh Shukla and Suhana Khan in key roles.

OSO is a classic! Perfect mix of drama, comedy, and that iconic 70s nostalgia. Farah Khan nailed it. But honestly, while this recognition is cool, I wish the Academy would look beyond just the song-and-dance clips and appreciate the depth of our storytelling too.

King of Bollywood for a reason! The man's energy is unmatched. Can't wait for 'King' now. 2026 is too far away yaar! 😅

As someone who discovered Bollywood later in life, films like Om Shanti Om are such a fantastic entry point. The self-referential humor, the music, SRK's charm... it's just pure entertainment. Glad to see it getting this spotlight.

Remember watching this in the theatre with my whole family. The whistles and claps when that monologue came on! That's the magic of SRK. He doesn't just act, he performs. True legend.

Good to see the recognition, but let's not forget the brilliant ensemble cast. Shreyas Talpade was hilarious, and Kirron Kher as the dramatic mom was perfect. It was a team effort that created this iconic film.
