SRK in a new avatar in 2017?

“Jab aadmi kuch nahi hota, tab mehnat karta hai.
Jab ho jaaye, uske baad mehnat karna bahut zaroori hai”

So said the Badshah in one of his earlier interviews and he has literally followed this belief throughout his career; the actor who is considered to be one of the biggest stars of Bollywood happens to be one of the most hard-working and dedicated artists. Over the years, with various incredible performances and killer charm, Shah Rukh has established himself as King Khan of Bollywood. He is a declared workaholic and is highly respected by the Bollywood fraternity as well as his fans for his passion for the craft, exemplary calibre, extraordinary will-power and the trademark electric wit. So tremendous is his stardom, that he is arguably India’s biggest star overseas, with films striking a chord even in countries like Germany, France Russia, Japan and Indonesia. In the past few years, the path has been somewhat bumpy for Khan. But what sort of a journey awaits SRK in the coming year?

The planetary alignments in the months to come:

Shah Rukh will be under the influence of Saturn major period and the sub period of Venus till  February 24, 2018. Saturn is retrograde in its own sign — Aquarius in the 7th house and Venus is in semi Sextile aspect with it. Saturn will be transiting over his natal Venus after January 26, 2017. Jupiter will be transiting through the 2nd house till September 2017 after which, it will be transiting through the 3rd house of his chart, that is, over his Natal Sun.

What the stars indicate about King Khan’s upcoming year:

Considering all the aspects mentioned above, SRK’s year ahead is going to get busier. There will be an incessant surge of new activity and a lot of new projects may come his way. His decisions as a producer may payback well in the upcoming year and the time looks good for his company’s (Red Chillies Entertainment) overall prospects. Also, foreign opportunities are likely to increase for the Swades star.

“Jo nahin ho sakta, wahi toh karna hai”
— SRK in Chak De! India

The actor will set higher goals for himself in the year ahead. He may also decide to explore uncharted territories — be it as an actor, producer or as a businessman. Jupiter will have an extremely important role to play in SRK’s life in the next few years. It is because the mighty planet will be transiting through key houses and will be influencing some major planets. Moreover, once Jupiter enters the sign of Libra and begins its transit over the Natal Sun, we can expect some major positive happenings in Shah Rukh’s life.

“Aadmi accha hoon, irada nek hai aur mausam first class hai... Chalein?”
— SRK in Yes Boss

This dialogue, delivered by Shah Rukh in the film Yes Boss, perfectly symbolises his attitude in general. But the transit of Rahu through the Ascendant may create further controversies and may dent his image.
So, though SRK is a accha aadmi, kharab mausam may force him to do course correction and watch his step.

“Kisne kaha ki chamatkar nahin hote, zara mujhe kareeb se dekho.”
— SRK in Don 2.

SRK may not rush into things, especially when it comes to films in the year ahead. Saturn’s transit over natal Venus will compel him to pay more importance to the substance of the scripts rather than the banner.

“Kabhi kabhi jeetne ke liye kuch haarna padta hai, aur haar kar jeetne waale ko Baazigar kehte hain!”
 — SRK in Baazigar

Some of the upcoming films of SRK may land into controversies, but may ultimately be able to get high appreciation.
