Paulo Coelho gave a shoutout to Shah Rukh Khan in his recent tweet.

Reacting to the video, Paulo had tweeted, "King. Legend. Friend. But above all great actor (for those who don't know him in the West, I strongly suggest My Name is Khan – and I am Not a Terrorist)."

In 2020, the author 'thanked' Shah Rukh for a film called Kaamyaab, which was backed by his production banner Red Chillies Entertainment. Sharing a poster of the film, Paulo had tweeted, "The producers thank you in the very first frame, Shah Rukh. I am doing the same. Two days ago a great Brazilian actor, Flavio Migliaccio, committed suicide, leaving a note on how the industry treats the artists. This movie, labelled as 'comedy', is in fact the tragedy of art."

Responding to him, Shah Rukh had tweeting, "Saw the film, when it was doing festival rounds, and it touched a chord with the whole team at Red Chillies Entertainment. Am so moved you appreciate.
