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.
