Did vaastu help Shah Rukh Khan bounce back? The hidden story behind Pathaan and Jawan's ₹2000 crore success
After a series of back-to-back flops and a long silence at the box office, Shah Rukh Khan roared back in 2023 with Pathaan and Jawan , two films that rewrote Bollywood's success story by raking in a combined ₹2,000 crore worldwide. But what was the secret behind this electrifying comeback? According to veteran producer and SRK's close confidant Anand Pandit, it wasn't just the scripts or star power — it was Vaastu. The Power Behind the Palace: Mannat's Vaastu Gets a Makeover Anand Pandit recently revealed in an interview with the Screen that he played an unconventional role in SRK's return to form. Known for his knowledge of Vaastu Shastra, Pandit shared that Khan reached out to him during his lull period — the time after Jab Harry Met Sejal and Zero — asking for help in correcting the energy around his iconic home, Mannat. 'When we became close, I started guiding him that there is a special Vaastu Shastra which is based on energy, which I practice,' said Pandit. 'We adjusted the energy that was required at his place. And it worked for him.' According to him, even a simple repositioning of a mirror in the house played a part in shifting the energy — and, possibly, SRK's luck. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Algeria: Jewelry On Sale For Half Price!

SRK's raw honesty about facing failure and clawing back with determination resonated with fans. For a man who's often projected as the king of charisma and confidence, these glimpses into his vulnerable side made his resurgence all the more relatable and inspiring.

Shah Rukh Khan Took Vaastu Advice Before Pathaan And Jawan: 'It Worked For Him'
Last Updated: Shah Rukh Khan's friend and producer Anand Pandit claims he offered Vaastu-based spiritual guidance to SRK before the release of Pathaan and Jawan. After facing a turbulent patch with back-to-back flops like Jab Harry Met Sejal (2017) and Zero (2018), Shah Rukh Khan took a step back from acting—a break that stretched over five years due to the pandemic. But when he returned, he came back stronger than ever. With Pathaan and Jawan collectively raking in over ₹2000 crore worldwide, SRK reminded the world why he remains Bollywood's ultimate superstar. But what changed? According to veteran producer and close friend Anand Pandit, a little bit of Vaastu may have helped shift the energy. Speaking to SCREEN, Anand Pandit opened up about how Shah Rukh reached out to him during this transitional phase. 'When we became close, I started guiding him about a special form of Vaastu Shastra based on energy. We made certain energy adjustments in his home, and I'm glad it worked for him. He is humble enough to acknowledge it publicly," Pandit said, confirming that the actor consulted him before Pathaan and Jawan. This aligns with a viral video from Pandit's 60th birthday bash in 2023, where SRK had joked, 'He's my spiritual guru. When one of my films flops, I call him to fix my house. He moves a mirror around, and the next thing you know, my films start working." In 2023, SRK also starred in Dunki, which received mixed reviews but went on to earn ₹470 crore globally. With three commercial successes in a row, the superstar seems to have reclaimed his box-office throne. Now, all eyes are on King—an upcoming action-thriller that pairs Shah Rukh with his daughter Suhana Khan in her big-screen debut. The ensemble cast includes Deepika Padukone, Abhishek Bachchan, Rani Mukerji, Jackie Shroff, and Arshad Warsi, with Siddharth Anand directing. First Published:
