He will work closely with the Los Angeles based architect Tony Ashai in the design concept of a world-class beachfront community comprising 10 premium residential towers and featuring a diverse range of lifestyle amenities.

The hero of movie hits like Dilwale Dulhaniya Le Jayenge
- the longest running Indian film - and Kuch Kuch Hota Hai,
Shah Rukh Khan said: "Indian cinema has enjoyed strong emotional ties with the UAE and Arab cine-goers for decades.

"The Arab world is Hindi film industry's strongest foreign market. Shah Rukh Khan Boulevard is my tribute to the love and affection shown by the people of the UAE to Indian cinema.

"I believe that residential properties must be a true reflection of the aspiration of the Arab world, and my vision for the project is to make life a celebration. I have lent my name to the project and I intend to share and transfer my passion for design and living spaces into this world class community that residents will be proud of."
