The Hindu
Filmmaker Rohit Shetty has put an end to rumours of an alleged rift with Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan after the failure of their 2015 film ‘Dilwale’
The failure of 2015’s Dilwale, which reunited Bollywood superstar Shah Rukh Khan and director Rohit Shetty after the blockbuster Chennai Express, had since led to speculations of a rift between the two. That the two haven’t collaborated since further fuelled these rumous. Now, in a latest interview, Rohit has cleared the air and put an end to those rumours.
In an interview with trade analyst Komal Nahta on his Game Changers podcast, Rohit spoke about the alleged rift and said, “Nahi aisa kuch nahi. Ek respect hai humare beech me aur Dilwale ke baad ye hua ki immediately phir humne humare khud ki production house kholi. Humne decide kiya ki hum khud ki filmein banayenge. Agar loss bhi ho to humara ho, jabki loss nahi hua tha. (There’s nothing like that. We share mutual respect. Also, immediately after Diwale, we had started our own production houses. We decided to make our own films, so even if we face losses, it is only upon us.)
Rohit further stated that Dilwale turned out to be a huge success in the overseas market.
The film, produced by Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan’s Red Chillies Entertainment, was released on December 19, 2015, and clashed at the box office with Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Bajirao Mastani, starring Deepika Padukone, Priyanka Chopra, and Ranveer Singh.
Meanwhile, Shah Rukh will be seen next in King, directed by Pathaan-maker Siddharth Anand and co-starring Shah Rukh’s daughter and actor Suhana Khan.
Rohit, on the other hand, recently delivered a hit in Singham Again, which is part of his Cop Universe. The film starred Ajay Devgn alongside Akshay Kumar, Ranveer Singh, Tiger Shroff, Kareena Kapoor Khan, Deepika Padukone, Arjun Kapoor and Jackie Shroff among others.
