MUMBAI: Superstar Salman Khan, who has been delivering hit films back-to-back, feels his arch rival Shahrukh Khan is the “King of Bollywood,” reports The Hindu.

Salman has become the first Bollywood actor to give seven super-hit films in a row, including his recent release “Kick.”

“You can say whatever you want. But there is a king (hinting at Shahrukh) anyways. You have problem with him being the King? I don’t have problem with him being the king,” Salman said on Thursday when asked if after delivering so many hit films he feels like the new king of Bollywood.

SRK and Salman’s enmity and an eventual patch up has been a fodder for gossip in Bollywood for many years but the “Kick” star indicated that he no longer has a problem talking about the other Khan.

“You are talking about Shahrukh?” the actor asked a reporter to a query on him being the king of Bollywood, to which the scribe said he was not referring to Shahrukh.

Salman then said, “I am mentioning him. If he is the king, he should be the king, that is the good position.”

To a query on where he places himself in the industry, he said, “I would be placing myself much behind, right now I am misplaced.”
