Rohit Shetty opens up on alleged fallout with Shah Rukh Khan after ‘Dilwale': ‘We have mutual respect'
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.

TNPL 2025 kicks off tomorrow, Shahrukh's Kings to take on Ashwin's Dragons in opener
Coimbatore, June 4 (UNI) IPL GT star Shahrukh Khan-led Lyca Kovai Kings will lock horns with R Ashwin's Dindigul Dragons in a rematch of last year's final to kickstart the 9th edition of the Shriram Capital-Tamil Nadu Premier League at the Sri Ramakrishna College of Arts and Science Cricket Ground here on Thursday night. Dindigul denied Kovai Kings a hat-trick of crowns (joint-winners in 2022), as Ashwin turned in a splendid all-round performance in a low-scoring contest to help his side secure their maiden title. Meanwhile, Chepauk Super Gillies, the most-decorated franchise with four trophies, will begin their campaign on Friday against iDream Tiruppur Tamizhans in what is India's longest-running regional T20 league. Adding excitement to Season 9 are the new-look squads following February's mega auction after the eight franchises were allowed to retain a maximum of five players each. Among the prominent movements were pacer M Mohammed to SKM Salem Spartans, left-arm spinner Swapnil Singh to Chepauk Super Gillies and toporder batters U Mukilesh and J Suresh Kumar to Trichy Grand Cholas, while all-rounder Vijay Shankar returns to Chepauk Super Gillies. With Sai Sudharsan picked for India's Test tour of England, exciting teenager Andre Siddharth will be expected to play a key role for his new franchise, Kovai Kings. At a press conference on Wednesay, Kovai Kings' head coach J Hariesh said his side will also miss the services of all-rounder RS Ambrish, away with the India U-19 team, who 'would have taken the No 6 slot.' Among other franchise news, all-rounder Washington Sundar, also picked for the England Test tour, will not be available for Trichy Grand Cholas, while former UAE wrist-spinner Karthik Meiyappan, who has now moved to his birth place Chennai, will don Siechem Madurai Panthers colours. All eight franchises appear balanced, given the reshaping of squads at the mega auction, and this promises exciting and close matches this season. 'Teams can look strong on paper, but what happens during the match decides everything,' Dindigul spinner Varun Chakravarthy said. It took Dindigul eight seasons to secure their maiden crown after runner-up finishes in 2018 and 2019, and the side is looking to extend their supremacy. 'We have a trophy to defend and make a statement this year by winning it two times in a row,' India spinner Chakravarthy added. Kovai Kings' skipper Shahrukh felt a good season boils down to the 'process that we put in place and the brand of cricket that we play.' 'It's a fresh start, really, because barring the five players that were retained, most of the others are new to the side,' Shahrukh, last edition's Player of the Tournament, said at the press meet. After a week in Coimbatore (until June 11), the action will shift to the Salem Cricket Foundation ground (June 13-19), followed by CSK ground in Tirunelveli (June 21-26) before moving to the NPR College ground in Dindigul for the business end, with the final on July 6. The 32-match season will also feature six double headers, with the afternoon game commencing at 3.15 p.m. N Jagadeesan (Chepauk Super Gillies, 2260) and Sai Kishore (IDream Tiruppur Tamizhans, 78 wickets) are the tournament's leading run-getter and wicket-taker respectively, while Shivam Singh (Dindigul Dragons, 364) and M Poiyamozhi (SKM Salem Spartans,16 wickets) topped the charts last year. Matches will be broadcast live on Star Sports 1 Tamil and Star Sports 2 and live- streamed on FanCode. UNI GV 2135
