Looking dapper in a stylish black 'Raees' jacket at the Dabboo Ratnani's 2017 Calendar launch, King Khan said, "It's a huge honour as Yash ji is one of the greatest filmmakers our country has ever seen. I have also been associated with him and his family in close proximity."
The award - whose previous recipients were Lata Mangeshkar, Amitabh Bachchan and Rekha - will be presented on February 25.
The 'Dear Zindagi' star is on cloud nine as, "The others who have received this award are extremely renowned so I never thought I would get this award so soon. I'm extremely grateful and thrilled."
On the work front, the Badshaah of Bollywood is all set for the release of his much-awaited flick 'Raees' on 25th this month.
