We never know. I don't plan these film was never approached in that way . If you really had to approach it as a business module, I don't think, I think we failed on the first day, right?This was not a project. Because we didn't cast established people. We had a budget, which was like stretching ourselves a lot. We came at a time where people didn't believe this kind of genre existed. So if you ever really followed the trade magazines or the trade pundits or the business trends, which talks about sequels and franchises, this wasn't even a film that was ever mentioned. This didn't even come with the label that said from makers of this, we didn't even rely on those kind of trappings. We didn't do that. I think this was the most organic way to make a film. So I don't think we were even thinking about things like franchises and sequels.'Anand's tweet that Mohit was referring to read, "A little late to the party. Had heard so much about the film already. Apart from it being the blockbuster ofcourse. Went in to the film with all these expectations. And yet! Just LOVED IT!!!, (sic)."Take a look at the tweet: (Credit: X/justSidAnand) Featuring starry performances by Ahaan Panday and Aneet Padda, and backed by a moving soundtrack, the emotional drama has emerged as the year's second-biggest box office hit. In just 12 days, it earned over Rs 265 crore in India and crossed Rs 400 crore worldwide. It is produced by YRF and was released on July 18.- EndsTrending Reel

Shah Rukh Khan has suffered a back injury on the sets of his upcoming film, King. The actor, who was last seen in Rajkumar Hirani's Dunki, has been working on his next film with director Siddharth Anand and was reportedly shooting in Mumbai when the injury happened. According to India Today, the actor travelled to the US for treatment. Now, he has relocated to the UK, where he is recovering. He is accompanied with his family. A source told the publication that the injury is minor and the actor is recovering well. However, the filming of the action thriller is currently halted and will resume in September. Due to the injury, SRK's planned trip to Sri Lanka has also been postponed. This is the second time when the actor has injured his back. Previously, during the making of Boney Kapoor's 2002 film Shakti, the actor hurt his back. At that time, he was operated in a hospital in the UK. He was diagnosed with prolapsed disc. He eventually opted for an anterior cervical discectomy and fusion surgery which had a disc inserted in his spine. Soon after, he shot for Ashutosh Gowariker's Swades. Recalling an incident from the set where he dropped him from his bike, his co-star Daya Shankar Panday told Friday Talkies, 'This was the same time when Shah Rukh Khan was suffering from severe back pain.
