Mumbai : Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan has decided on International Women's Day to give pride of place to the heroine's name in the credit titles of all his forthcoming films.
Henceforth, in all his films, the heroine's name will appear ahead of him in the credit titles. It wouldn't matter whether the leading lady is a "senior of junior to SRK", says a press release.
Shah Rukh Khan, who has an enviable following among women, is doing his bit for their empowerment, says the press release.
The actor, who recently shot a short film for R Balki, released on Women's Day, is keen to change the rules of the male-dominated fraternity, one film at a time.
Starting with his upcoming film Chennai Express, the credit rolls will not feature his name first, but that of his leading actress.
Traditionally, since the era of the great Dilip Kumar, it has always been the male star, who has been the first one to be credited, followed by the rest of the cast and crew. Unless of course, it was a completely heroine-centric film.
