"The new film that has really inspired me is Parasite from South Korea. I think that was excellent. And so was Joker. These two films are very good,” the star said.
A few months ago, King Khan even took to his Twitter page to share his views on Parasite, which has been internationally acclaimed.

He tweeted, “Just saw Parasite the South Korean film on my kids recommendation. What a delightfully discomforting film. A bizarre look at social status, the state of the world. The parasitic nature of the Materialistic Hope we all feed and live off!"
Bong Joon-ho’s Parasite won big at the Oscars in the category of Best Cinema, Best Direction, Best Original Screenplay and Best International Feature Film.
On the other hand, Todd Phillips’ Joker which stars Joaquin Phoenix in the lead role was nominated in 11 categories. Joaquin Phoenix won the Academy Award in the Best Actor category.
