Rohit Shetty reveals whether he had a fallout with Shah Rukh Khan after 'Dilwale' failure: 'I took a call that I should be the person responsible now'
Rohit Shetty and Shah Rukh Khan, who collaborated on 'Chennai Express' and 'Dilwale', have no fallout despite rumors. Shetty emphasized mutual respect and waiting for the right script to reunite. He also highlighted close bonds with industry friends like Ajay Devgn and Deepika Padukone, praising their dedication and support.
Rohit Shetty
and
Shah Rukh Khan
joined forces for the first time with the 2013 action-comedy 'Chennai Express', featuring
Deepika Padukone
as the female lead. The movie was a massive hit, earning Rs 227 crore net domestically and Rs 422 crore globally. The duo reunited in 2015 for 'Dilwale', a romantic action-comedy that reunited Khan and Kajol on screen, alongside
Varun Dhawan
and Kriti Sanon. However, 'Dilwale' didn't perform as well, earning Rs 148 crore net in India and Rs 388 crore worldwide, falling short of expectations.
Rohit Shetty Addresses Fallout Rumours
During a recent appearance on Komal Nahta's Game Changers podcast, Rohit Shetty was asked whether he had a fallout with Shah Rukh Khan following the box office failure of Dilwale. He dismissed the rumors, saying, "There's nothing like that. We have mutual respect. We started our own production house after Dilwale. We decided that we will make our own films so that if we face a loss, it is on us. However, we did not face a loss in Dilwale. Dilwale was the biggest hit in overseas. But then I took a call that I should be the person responsible now."

Rohit shared, "When only the last schedule of our film was pending, Deepika was four months pregnant. But she came for the shoot. Relations like these are rarely made," highlighting the rare bond they share.

Ali Fazal shares heartfelt note on mother's death anniversary, says he dreads this day every June
On June 17, 2020, Ali Fazal lost his mother, a loss he deeply feels every June. Sharing heartfelt memories on Instagram, he reflects on personal grief and empathizes with others enduring loss worldwide. Meanwhile, he is preparing for his upcoming film ' Dino', directed by Anurag Basu. On June 17, 2020, Ali Fazal lost his mother to health issues, a loss that also felt like losing a part of his own youth. Each year, this date brings a wave of sorrow for him, but he also takes time to consider the struggles others may be facing around the world. Emotional Instagram Tribute Taking to Instagram, the actor shared a few throwback photos of his mother and a childhood photo of himself. He penned a heartfelt note, 'There are two people I had to say goodbye to this day 5 years ago- One my mother and the other that little boy me.. ( or as I see Ali today but without a version of Him in recorded past). And it's so funny - that another part comes in swinging from the ends of the universe and gently attaches itself to me now. I am blessed. Another me? Another you? God knows. Anyway, I put this out because I, a mere mortal dread this day every June... because it was my loss. It's mine. My me. So I stop to think and contemplate - like if i could disect this moment and hit pause for a bit… and then transport to a place inside the head of let's pick any one person in a part of the world ( that's easy we know where) - who on a friday afternoon sits but in utter dread for the whole of June that has weirdly lasted maybe 2 years? 20-200 and boom, this person loses his whole family just like that... by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 임플란트 29만원 이벤트 임플란트 더 알아보기 Undo For cinematic effect, let's call it 'in a flash.'' Empathy and Reflection on Loss He further wrote, 'I am like a fly on that wall, much like most of us through social media today we have seen it all. Then in a miraculous way, I switch back to where I hit pause (remember?) - now my feeling of loss is doubled up with an empathy of a universal kind? Or is too much hands-on knowledge of loss that should lessen the effect of what is considered Mine? Or am I told 'Hhey dude, don't take the world's guilt upon urself.' Naah I dont buy any of it. I should shut up and carry on moving mountains. Am I though? Are you? We both could though.'
