Prime Minister Narendra Modi during his Lok Sabha speech on Tuesday expressed grief over the loss of lives in the Hathras stampede tragedy

Talking about the same, Giona A. Nazzaro, Artistic Director said, “To welcome a living legend like Shah Rukh Khan to Locarno is a dream come true! The wealth and breadth of his contribution to Indian cinema is unprecedented. Khan is a king who has never lost touch with the audience that crowned him. This brave and daring artist has always been willing to challenge himself while remaining true to what his fans all over the world eagerly expect from his films. A true ‘people’s hero’, sophisticated and down to earth, Shah Rukh Khan is a legend of our times.”
