India’s ambitious plan to host the 2036 Olympics was presented by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in a significant announcement. The government’s dedication to making this goal a reality is undeniable because Prime Minister Modi promised to do everything in his power to bring this significant athletic event to his country. Now, Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan is candid about it.
A joint committee made up of the Indian government and the Indian Olympic Association (IOA) will shortly hold meetings to lay the groundwork for India’s candidature to host the 2036 Summer Olympics. It’s vital to remember that the choice of the 2036 Olympic host city won’t be made until after the IOC elections in the following year.
The International Olympic Committee’s confirmation of cricket’s inclusion in the 2028 Olympics precedes this historic development. The much-anticipated return of cricket to the Olympic stage will include a six-team T20 format for both men and women.

Further expanding the Olympic games, baseball/softball, lacrosse (sixes), and flag football will all be included in the 2028 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. Notably, there wasn’t a unanimous IOC decision to approve these inclusions; two members opposed the proposal.
The well-known Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan stated his support for India’s chances of hosting the Olympics. He asserted that having the Olympics in India will significantly advance Indian sport, making a comparison to the appeal of wanting to be a fast bowler like Kapil Dev or Jasprit Bumrah.
With the 2036 Olympics as its goal, India is starting a momentous journey that has the ability to change the sporting landscape in the nation and is sure to be exciting and challenging.
On the work front, Shah Rukh Khan was last seen in the film Jawan. The movie was released on 7th September worldwide in five languages – Tamil, Telugu, Malayalam, Hindi, and Kannada.
