Shah Rukh Khan Launches “SHAHRUKHZ BY DANUBE"

In a historic moment for global entertainment and real estate, Bollywood megastar Shah Rukh Khan officially launched Shahrukhz by Danube, the first-ever real-estate tower named after him. The grand unveiling ceremony was held in Mumbai, attended by Danube Group Chairman Rizwan Sajan, top media, and industry leaders.

Although the event took place in Mumbai, the iconic property itself will rise in Dubai, marking a major milestone in celebrity-driven real-estate projects.

A Landmark Collaboration

The project represents a unique collaboration between two global powerhouses —

Shah Rukh Khan, one of the world’s biggest film icons, and the Danube Group, one of the UAE’s leading real-estate developers.

Rizwan Sajan revealed that hosting the launch in Mumbai was a tribute to Shah Rukh Khan's roots, and an acknowledgment of India’s emotional connection with him.
