One of the most acclaimed and distinguished actors of Bollywood is Shahrukh Khan. The mere mention of his name leave his fans ecstatic. So much so that they cherish every single shot that SRK has been a part of. They evaluate every dialog of his and assimilate it.
His stardust has always left his fans exhilarated and wanting to see more of him on the big screen. His glamorous screen presence and perfect dialogue delivery timing still continues to galvanize his fans.
The glory of this Bollywood legend is so immaculate that even his body doubles are extraordinarily appreciated and bear lucious fruits of success across the film fraternity. The directors opt for a few body doubles on the set of which SRK is a part of. But the one guy who has all eyes glued to him is none other than Prashant Walde. This man exhibits preternatural alikeness with the actor. He has also always been a huge fan of SRK and thanks his stars for letting him work with the Baadshah.
With a great deal of movies in his kitty, Prashant has won a number of hearts. So much so that he is the first body double thats comes to the Bollywood Directors’ minds when they are casting for SRK in the movie.
Prashant has assumed unparallel fame which very few body doubkes really get. Infact in one of the interviews with the TOI, Prahsnat was quoted saying that the directors casting Shahrukh Khan in a film, consider Prashant to be a handyman. He also mentioned that there are several instances where in the absence of SRK, Prashant play a dummy for rehearsals and unimportant shots.
Some of Prashant’s notable workd in Bollywood with King Khan encompass
1. “Rab ne bana di jodi”
2. “Chennai Express”
3. “Dear Zindagi”
4. “Don 2”
5. “Fan”

The very first time they worked together was in
“Om Shanti Om”.
The body double Prashant has even mentioned that the amount that he is paid for a day’s work in acting with Shahrukh Khan as his clone is INR 30,000/- .
His eternal connection with the legendary Shahrukh is so deep that he believes SRK to be his ‘Godfather’. Shahrukh too is in awe of the talented Prahsant and always mentions about his fine bonding with his body double.
