As part of Saudi Arabia's new tourism policy to become an entertainment hub in the region, the forum invited global superstars such as Shah Rukh Khan, Jackie Chan, Jean Claude Van Damme and Jason Momoa (Aquaman).

The event took place in the presence of Turki Bin Abdulmohsen Al Sheikh, Chairman of the General Authority for Entertainment, and a large number of ministers, officials and guests of the Kingdom in the field of entertainment at the global level.

The forum started with a discussion session on entertainment and building economy.

The session dealt with entertainment in Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030, diversification of the economy as well as economic transformation, growth of the entertainment sector, enrichment of people's lives and improvement of quality of life.

In a candid selfie with Chan and Damme, SRK captioned the picture:

'Khan, Damme, Chan at the #JoyForum19. The joys all mine as I got to meet my heroes.'

'King Khan' - as he is fondly known by his fans - has taken a break from films after his recent movies did not do as well at the box office.
