Shah Rukh Khan and Rohit Shetty delivered a blockbuster with Chennai Express, but their next collaboration, Dilwale, failed to recreate the same magic at the box office. Ever since, rumours have swirled suggesting a fallout between the actor and the filmmaker. However, Rohit Shetty has now put those speculations to rest.
During a candid chat with Komal Nahta on the Game Changers podcast, Rohit dismissed the buzz about any fallout with SRK. “Nahi aisa kuch nahi,” he said, clarifying that there’s no bad blood between them.
He further elaborated, “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.”
Rohit clarified that despite the underwhelming domestic response, Dilwale was a major success overseas. For context, the film was produced by Shah Rukh and Gauri Khan under their banner, Red Chillies Entertainment.
Rohit also shared insights into the strong friendships he’s built within the industry. He revealed that he shares a deep bond with Ajay Devgn, whom he considers an elder brother, and has grown close to actors like Ranveer Singh and Deepika Padukone. Praising Deepika’s dedication, Rohit recalled that she shot the final schedule of Singham Again while she was four months pregnant. “Relations like these are rarely made,” he added.
