Bollywood Baadshah Shah Rukh Khan and visionary filmmaker SS Rajamouli have made it to the list of Time’s 100 Most Influential People in 2023. These are the only Indians on the list that also includes US President Joe Biden, King Charles, star icon Bella Hadid, Syrian-born swimmers and activists Sara Mardini and Yusra Mardini, billionaire CEO Elon Musk, and popular singer Beyonce.
Neither Indian PM Narendra Modi, Telangana CM KCR, nor Andhra Pradesh CM YS Jagan made it to the list. Does that mean Rajamouli has become more influential and powerful than them? Well, according to TIME magazine, yes, he is!
It is another huge honor for Rajamouli after rocking the Oscars and Golden Globe Awards with RRR. He is the first-ever Indian filmmaker to achieve this Time honor.
SS Rajamouli is placed in the Pioneers section of TIME’s most influential people list, along with the likes of Doja Cat, Bella Hadid, and Sam Altman.
