If you wish to solve go ahead. I tried fixing the unexpected characters, but the same things appear again.

Nos. 3 and 4 are both 8 characters long.

WATERLOO is incorrect, and so is PERFUME.

Yeah, I was thinking RAVAN as the answer (Ra.One - homo; Ra.One has Shah Rukh Khan, called the Badshah of Bollywood). Ravan had Abhishek Bacchan (Shahansha of Bollywood, i,e., Amitabh Bacchan's son). Looks like Hindi folks are not far behind Tamilians and Telugu's in adorning their movie stars with hyperbolic titles.
