Tom Hiddleston and Shah Rukh Khan
Loki star Tom Hiddleston may have a huge fan following, but he can't stop gushing about Shah Rukh Khan. When asked about his first thought on India in a special video posted by Disney+Hotstar, which streams the new series, the British actor quipped, "Shah Rukh Khan". He referred to the superstar again when the word âBollywood' came up. Hiddleston also revealed his India connect.
"My akka [sister] used to live in Chennai and I have been there a few times," said Hiddleston, who reprises his role of the god of mischief from the Marvel Cinematic Universe. His sister Sarah is married to documentary filmmaker Miriam Chandy Menacherry's son Yakov.
The actor currently stars in Disney Plus series 'Loki', in which he reprises his eponymous role of the God of Mischief from the Marvel Cinematic Universe (MCU).
Hiddleston previously played Loki in six MCU movies -- 'Thor' (2011), 'The Avengers' (2012), 'Thor: The Dark World' (2013), 'Thor: Ragnarok' (2017), 'Avengers: Infinity War' (2018), and 'Endgame' (2019).
