Bollywood idol Shah Rukh Khan will now flaunt the prefix 'Datuk', a traditional title conferred by the Malaysian royalty and akin to the British knighthood.

The Indian heartthrob will receive his Datukship from the Malacca head, Tun Mohd Khalil Yaakob later Saturday.

He has been listed as an artiste from Dreamz Unlimited, his filmmaking company, in the list of recipients. Shah Rukh will receive the Darjah Mulia Seri Melaka (DMSM), the third highest title.

He is among 77 recipients of the title.
